Pope Francis is urging the nations of the world to take in as many refugees as possible. The pontiff told reporters aboard the papal plane that he believes it is incumbent on governments to “welcome, to accompany, to place, to integrate” as many refugees as their societies can reasonably accommodate. “Each country must do this with the virtue of government, which is prudence, and take in as many refugees as it can, as many as it can integrate, educate, give jobs to,” Francis said during the in-flight press conference, according to The Associated Press. “We are living through a flood of refugees who are fleeing war and hunger,” the pope said. More than 33,000 people have risked their lives to reach Europe by sea in 2018 so far, according to the United Nations Refugee Agency. About 771 are estimated to have drowned during the journey. Francis was responding to a journalist’s question aboard the papal airplane during a trip back to Rome from Geneva. A reporter asked him to share his thoughts on the current crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, and the influx of migrants attempting to enter Europe.

Sarkin:Mr Man you are free to start listing them. No one is holding you. Those "atrocities" aren't secret. Or should I, a Catholic, help you list them!? The Catholic church has done things, really bad things, no lies. It would even be foolish to deny them because Pope John Paul ii had to apologise for it this past century. So stop acting like you know one big secret and treat the subject in question.. I'd have also threatened you by threatening to list out atrocities committed by Muhammad, but it won't really be a threat as every sane mind knows the atrocities. Lol. |
