The Vatican has decried the “obsession with borders and national security to detriment of rights and dignity of refugees.”
Such has been the stance of the Vatican of late. The Vatican “makes millions of dollars annually on refugee resettlement,” so it now asserts that “those who oppose the Muslim migrant influx are morally deficient. If you don’t want your land invaded by tens or hundreds of thousands of people with vastly different values, which they consider superior to yours, you are simply not a good Christian.”
The Vatican has abandoned the persecuted Church and the Christian value of justice. It is surrendering Christianity for the benefits associated with global Islamization.
The Vatican has “now signaled its concern over the results of Italy’s national election, which saw sharp gains for populist and anti-immigrant parties.”
The pope, who was born in Argentina of Italian immigrant stock, has championed the cause of migrants since taking office in 2013.
So-called “anti-immigrant parties” care more about the Christian roots of Europe than the Vatican has been demonstrating.
No one has advocated closing the door on genuinely suffering refugees, but Islamic supremacists and jihadists have fully infiltrated the refugee streams, which fact highlights the urgent need to investigate who comes into Western countries.
“Vatican signals its concern over populist rise in Italy elections,” by Philip Pullella, Reuters, March 6, 2018:
The biggest winners were the League — the largest party in a center-right grouping that employed the most fiery anti-migrant rhetoric during the campaign — and the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement.
Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s Secretary of State, was asked on the sidelines of a conference on immigration if the Holy See was worried about the results.
“The Holy See has to work in whatever conditions arise. We can’t (always) have the society that we would like to have, or the conditions that we would like to have,” he told the Catholic news agency SIR.
It was the Vatican’s first public reaction to the results and its most authoritative because Parolin, its top diplomat, ranks second only to Pope Francis in the Holy See’s hierarchy.
During the campaign, League leader Matteo Salvini clashed with the pope several times over immigration.
When Francis backed a proposed law that would have granted Italian citizenship to children born in Italy of immigrant parents — something the League vehemently opposed — Salvini said Francis could house the children in the Vatican if he wanted to.
Political squabbling blocked discussion of the law before parliament was dissolved ahead of the elections.
Salvini also criticized the pope for promoting dialogue with Islam. Many of the Africans who made the dangerous crossing of the Mediterranean to reach Italy are Muslim.
Parolin said at the conference that the Vatican realized that the election results meant it would have to continue “a work of education” about the dignity and rights of immigrants.
Surveys show Italians are increasingly uneasy after more than 600,000 migrants reached Italy by boat in four years. Last month, a neo-Nazi wounded six migrants in a shooting spree in central Italy.
“Citizens must feel safe and protected but at the same time we can’t slam doors in the faces of people who are fleeing violence and threats,” Parolin said.
The pope, who was born in Argentina of Italian immigrant stock, has championed the cause of migrants since taking office in 2013.
Last year he called for a radical change of attitude towards immigrants, saying they should be welcomed with dignity and denouncing the “populist rhetoric” he said was fuelling fear and selfishness in rich countries…
Mischief Maker in the Land says
Tear down that wall, Mr. Pope!
mortimer says
Beautiful… Pope Frank’s hypocrisy is exposed.
In 846, Muslim raiders (“the Saracens”) looted Old St. Peter’s Basilica and the Papal Basilica of St. Paul outside the walls. The MUSLIM JIHADIS took priceless treasures from the shrines.
Shocked by the sack of some of the most sacred sites in Christendom, Pope Leo IV created the Leonine Wall, completely surrounding the Vatican Hill. Additional defenses were added in the 15th and 16th centuries.
THE VATICAN WALLS are to keep out the MUSLIMS.
JawsV says
Saracens is the medieval word for Muslims. I think it deserves a comeback! They call us the Crusaders? OK, then you’re the Saracens!
Linda says
I like that!
mortimer says
Jaws, I prefer ‘JIHADISTS’, because ALL Muslims practice VERBAL JIHAD (taqiyya=lying about jihad) or else they have left Islam.
Super Nova500 says
Pope Francis appears to be a globalist who’s aiding in the Islamization of Europe, with Italy being particularly prone considering their geographical position near Africa/ Libya Etc. Since Hungry shut down the Balkan route into Northern Europe, the economic migrants pour in, aided by NGO’s, being paid for by George Soros’ open borders charity groups & others. The EU has now abandoned Italy, with France shutting all borders to Italy recently. The idea of a ONE world religion is prophesized in Revelation – when these apostate Christian leaders shall temporarily succeed and the Antichrist forms his one world religion.

A superbly succinct sentence from Christine:
“The Vatican has abandoned the persecuted Church and the Christian value of justice. It is surrendering Christianity for the benefits associated with global Islamization.”
As Robert Spencer quotes: “They are blind guides. Leave them.”
RCs who understand ISLAM (from first hand knowledge of the PRIMARY TEXTS) have no choice but to give their OFFERINGS to CLERGY and to church ORGANIZATIONS that are part of the COUNTERJIHAD. They should signal to their bishops that they are doing so, so that a STRONG FINANCIAL MESSAGE goes to the Vatican.
THE POPE IS WRONG … THE POPE IS NOT INFALLIBLE WHEN HE TALKS OFF THE TOP OF HIS HEAD ABOUT ISLAM!
Pope Frank is CLUELESS.
RichardL says
I am not defending Pope Francis, just explaining him: he is a brilliant theologian (Christian) and an atrocious politician. He has not lived in the polis and simply doesn’t have an understanding of what is happening. He sees himself as a bridge builder and defender of the downtrodden. Catholics are not obliged to even listen to him and they can and do disagree with him violently. I know loads of priests who disagree with him. When I ask them about his views, they invariable tell me to pray for him.
His views of islam are shaped by the Muslims he meet: they invariable lie to him and he thinks they believe in the Judeo-Christian God. It is not so much his fault, but the fault of Vatican II. Vatican II was aimed at the Jews but included the Muslims as well. Major mistake.
Steve says
Using the word brilliant to describe, Pope Karl the 1st, really devalues the word.
JawsV says
Begs the question: How can anyone be “brilliant” who doesn’t even know that Allah isn’t Jesus? That no, Muslims don’t worship the Judeo-Christian God? You have to be stupid.
mortimer says
Richard, how can Frank be ‘BRILLIANT’ if he STEADFASTLY REFUSES to read the PRIMARY, SOURCE TEXTS of Islam???
He is a dunce in my classroom.
ALL STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO DO THE READING LIST ON ISLAM:
1) Koran 2) Sira 3) Bukhari 4) Tafsirs 5) Qutb, Faraj, Maududi.
IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT THOSE NAMES REFER TO… FIND OUT.
NOTICE: not reading the list of books will result in an AUTOMATIC FAIL GRADE.
RichardL says
Mortimer, I specifically make it clear that he is a brilliant Christian theologian. He knows very, very little about islam.
He has not live in the polis for ages: he became the chief of the Jesuits in Argentina in 1973! Catholic priests are celibate.
He has been embedded in two powerful liberal streams in the Catholic Church: the Jesuits and the Latin American Left.
I find it sometimes difficult to have a rational debate here on JW. I specifically say that I am trying to explain, not to exculpate. He does immense harm to the world in general, but his theology is brilliant. And to those of you who want to emote: don’t respond if you haven’t read his doctrinal contributions – I makes this website look weak. Robert Spencer doesn’t deserve this. He is a serious scholar.
Mortimer, you are clearly a man of learning, and from your latest post, I read that you might also be a professor.
gravenimage says
He’s lived in the polis–he did for years in Argentina. He is not some cleric who has lived an isolated life in a monastery.
But even if he had, he should have at least a theoretical understanding of Christians and other Infidels being oppressed and murdered by Muslims.
Ray Jarman says
No theologian would ever advocate the destruction of his religion nor the destruction of his flock. This Communist/Stalinist who was advocating for a communist state while he was in Argentina. He is just like the leftist leaders of the west and other elites who live in well protected homes and advocate that he rest of us suffer at the hands of the most evil plight to ever inhabit the world. When the Nazis and the Mussolini Fascista were destroyed, their influence on the defeated evaporated while when an islamic regime is destroyed, the cult and its influence is still there waiting to rise again to etiolate the people. This pretender of Catholicism should be forced to reside in Palmyra, Nineveh and parts of Chaldea where Christians have been slaughtered or driven out of their homes to witness first hand how wonderful the pernicious slaughtering cult treats Christians and see if he would like to welcome them to live within the Vatican Leonine walls.

But pope Francis will not make law in europe. It was a time when the Catholic Church was all-powerful, thank God this period had passed.
There are certainly jealousies and rivalries in the Roman Curia and perhaps mafia, and the pope should clean up his own mess rather than lecturing others.

Carolyne says
It most certainly is his fault because he is too lazy to read and study Islam in its entirety, including the parts about killing infidels, beating wives and pedophilia. He is no brilliant anything. He is a bouncer from the streets of Argentina.
Westman says
The reality is most Italians are now secular in politics. Only 15% of Italian Catholics attend weekly mass and another 8% set foot in the door at least once a month.
Francis’ insistence that the nation, after being economically knocked about by the EU and changing demographics, should impoverish itself further with seditionist immigrants – is falling on highly irritated ears.
Francis has the same attitude as the European Commission – assuming to speak for God in his absence and that their pronouncements should override the will and intelligence of the citizens.
Populists? No. That claim is a leftist’s insult when in the minority. Realists? Pragmatic? Yes.
PABLO says
Pope Francis has a warped sense of the teachings of Jesus and he expects the host to willingly accept being overrun by parasites.
Tjhawk says
Yes, islam is, and has always been parasitic. Any success they have had, like the alleged “Golden Age” of islam has come from the advancements of the better cultures they have destroyed. They don’t usually kill off ALL the dhimis right away. After all, there has to be somebody to do all the things that make a civilization work. Once all the dhimmies are gone, and islamification is complete, the culture spirals down to irrelevance as far as advancing the human condition goes. They like to brag about how all of modernity could never have happened without islam. You know, zero and algebra (which they stole) made it all possible.
Make a list of all 57 OIC countries and see if anybody can find what they’ve done for us lately. 700-1000 years ago is NOT lately.
gravenimage says
So true, Tjhawk.
R Russell says
I suppose you know that the pope is interested in aliens. Remember he said he would baptise an alien?. Remember he then went on to say the aliens will be superior to us so we must submit to them?
His interest in Mt Graham shows he has plans for the RC church which he sees as coming from outwith our planet.
Why then has he had this explosion about people voting for freedom?
It’s all about control. He’s a Globalist. He wants absolute control. Whether he hopes to do that ex cathedra or by using something he will say comes from outer space, the end is to have the same result. Control. I don’t think the future will be all that great if he gets his own way.

Of course, “conservative” in this context means “Jihadist”.
lisa says
Jesus stood for truth. He would never have sanctioned.this deceipt and manipulation. Proves the Vatican is not following the teachings of Christ….and as we all know, a certain pretend religion has lies and deceipt entrenched in their very doctrines. Lies to themselves and to non believers of which they are extremely proud.
lisa says
Does the pope ever ask himself why Christians are persecuted all over the the Middle East ? When he went to one of the refugee camps in Greece in his private jet and left with a dozen refugees, why were there no Christians among them? You would think.Italy has enough refugees without the expense of flying to another country in Europe to fetch more. He is an utter disgrace. That was his example. Wash the feet of muslims and leave Christians at their mercy including demanding they be let in to persecute Christians in their own country. The media doesn’t like to report it but these “guests’ destroy crucifixes wherever they see them. They urinate and defecate on altars in churches. They behead statues of patron saints and 12 year old muslim children go to school and vandalise religious symbols there too. Who knows where rhey get that from? And that’s them as a minority. We all know what’s in store when their numbers increase. Meanwhile pope lives behind walls !!!!!
lisa says
Furthermore, these people were welcomed with dignity. in Italy, in Germany, Scandinavia etc but they don’t comport themselves with dignity..They comport.themselves with hatred and intolerance. I.suggest the pope spends some time and energy teaching these guests some good old christian values.
Santa Voorhees says
That reigion can as well abolish their doctrines of lies and deceit. There’s no point keeping them when infidels, especially leftist infidels, are already lying to themselves about that religion.
Thomas Kimball says
Wasn’t it in an Italian hospital that a muslim was caught trying to rape a woman in labor? How much bull shit do they expect people to put up with before there is push back?This pope is a demented moron and should be removed asap!

Wellington says
As I have written before here at JW, Pope Francis is an end result of the great disaster which was Vatican II (1962-1965). This unnecessary ecumenical council was called by John XXIII to fix something that wasn’t broken and it allowed the liberal element in the Church to get its way and then some. Vatican II effectively destroyed the Latin Mass, it engaged in relativistic thinking (e.g., that even a faith like Islam has valid revelation from God), it opened the door to accepting men for the priesthood who previously would not have been accepted, it gave at least implicit sanction to liberation theology, etc.
I don’t see how any devout and informed Catholic can look back upon Vatican II and assert that it should have been called, that it did a lot of good things. No it didn’t. And it’s why in large part Roman Catholicism is presently burdened by one of the worst popes in its history who is doing great damage to his own faith and, by extension, to Western Civilization and all mankind. A pope with lots of bad ideas (and Francis has a load of them, whether about capitalism, Western Civilization, America, Islam of course, et al.) does a disservice often times not only to his Church but to humanity in general. This is what Francis is doing right now, and the harm he is perpetrating will be carried on beyond his death because he is appointing like-minded men to bishoprics and the College of Cardinals. In short, Francis is a disaster still in the making and Vatican II is still wreaking havoc within the Church. Matters are looking bleak right now for Roman Catholicism and no one who cherishes Western Civilization should think this a good thing.

CRUSADER says

FYI says
Perhaps the Vatican should show some concern for the MASSIVE loss of faith it has generated amongst Catholics.
First catholics had the Vatican 2 catastrophe,then the Marxist liberation theologists,Cardinal Bernard Law{sbuh}(no doubt enjoying his infernal reward),the plague of pedophiles,watered down theology and an empty mass..
Then there was the disgraceful and gross dereliction of duty when Ratzinger(Ben XVI)abandoned his flock,causing,to this day, grave scandal to many Catholics.He also introduced questionable liturgy that turned the Mass into the mass.But never mind that!
Then there was the heretical Bergolio(francis 1) with his false teachings(which have even been condemned by many moral theologians and faithful catholics as being CONTRARY to catholic moral teachings).
Now that the heretical Bergolio is running the show with the help of the Opus dei mafia,that “smoke of satan” that Paul Vi was talking about is in full effect at the very top of the multi billion dollar Vatican RCC Corporation: an organisation that no longer preaches the Catholic faith,betrays catholics and Christians.
Many catholics no longer feel they have a church to go due to Ratzinger and Bergolio’s incompetency.
It is not so much that Catholics have abandoned the faith:rather it is as it is that the Church Authorities
no longer subscribe to it themselves.
If you are a catholic you must surely know about the prophetic warnings of Fatima 1917;That we have a heretical “pope” with his false papacy and ecclesiastical freemasonry running the show is no surprise at all.Unfortunately,the majority of catholics will not believe the prophecies…of their OWN church!That is like Christians who deny scriptural prophecies.
That Rome would abandon the faith generating an apostasy amongst catholics has been KNOWN for some time.
Meanwhile,the Vatican’s false gospel of false mercy continues to be preached,its enormous wealth undistributed to the poor,,its betrayal of Catholics and Catholicism will continue under the heretical Bergolio with his phoney Loving the Poor(while he’s living the dream)roadshow continues.
The papal show must go on and francis is busy preparing the way for someone(No.not Jesus..)
If francis was such a gifted theologian ,he would not have equated allah with God because,as a Jesuit,he would know the difference..he is an extremely catholic theologian,a dhimmiwit and an appaling and completely fraudulent Christian.
