[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Heard this joke about the Pope yet? -- Migrants' rights should override national security concerns (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 8/21/2017 2:23:49 PM EST

Pope Francis urged political leaders on Monday to defend migrants, saying their safety should take precedence over national security concerns and that they should not be subjected to collective deportations.

His challenge to politicians, made in a comprehensive position paper on migrants and refugees, again appeared to put him at odds with the restrictive policies of a number of governments dealing with growing popular anti-immigrant sentiment.

"Solidarity must be concretely expressed at every stage of the migratory experience – from departure through journey to arrival and return," he said in a message ahead of the Roman Catholic Church's World Day of Migrants and Refugees.

Calling for "broader options for migrants and refugees to enter destination countries safely and legally," he said the human rights and dignity of all migrants had to be respected regardless of their legal status.

"The principle of the centrality of the human person ... obliges us to always prioritize personal safety over national security," he said.

He called for "alternative solutions to detention" for illegal immigrants and said "collective and arbitrary expulsions of migrants and refugees are not suitable solutions".

Francis said migrants should be seen as "a true resource for the communities that welcome them" and be given freedom of movement, access to means of communication, access to justice and everyday rights such as opening a bank account.

He's ignoring the "Personal Safety" issues that the Illegal Migrants are causing.

Well, I suppose I do the "If you can't say anything nice" thing with this asshole. He should open the gates to his castle before telling us what do with our little lives. Asshole.

Oh and take away all the weapons of his private police force while not letting them arrest or deport any of them.

What a stupid pathetic chump.

Francis's message immediately drew the ire of the right-wing Northern League party in Italy because it implicitly supported a controversial law proposal that would grant citizenship to children who are born in Italy of immigrant parents.

"The universal right to a nationality should be recognized and duly certified for all children at birth," the pope said.

Northern League leader Matteo Salvini responded: "If he wants to apply it in his state, the Vatican, he can go right ahead."

I'm Ruthenian Rite. Francis is a fucking communist, and Eastern Rite Catholics KNOW and REMEMBER what communists did to us. I'm starting to believe he's the Anti-Pope.

Pope only speaks for the church in matter of faith and morals.. nothing he is saying is authoritative, just his "IMHO" only maybe not so humble..

Gee, the pope likes the "refugees", can't believe the priests would allow that since there would be competition for "boy's confessions" . AntiChrist, socialist. How 'bout the church sell all their wealth and buy the "refugees" their own country?

and here we go....

It's important when the Pope speaks on these issues because he has a tremendous "bully pulpit" he speaks from. Perhaps he should shut his mouth and only speak to matters of faith and morals.

So this alt-left political activist polititan posing as a 'Pope' must have by now ordered the walls of the Vatican be torn down and the Vatican tuned into a 'migrant' base camp right?...or is he a hypocrite and the BS and slings only applies to others as his Globalist masters demand? - which is it?

Also has he ordered his Vatican guards to disarm while he orders the migrant camp be set up on his door step? If not- why not? if he practices what he preaches?

I agree in part. If we worked at making their homes safer, most would not need to immigrate. Likewise, if we prosicuted those who took advantage of them, their would be no financial advantage for them to migrat.

Left the Catholic church because they couldn't hack the "morals department". I just wanted to quote that. That's fucking awesome right there.

So how many migrants has the Vatican taken into it's walls? I am not referring to Italy, I mean how many migrants has the pope allowed to actually move permanently into Vatican owned buildings on Vatican grounds where the pope lives. After all, the Vatican issues it's own passports, and is seen as it's own government, so show us by example...

How many has he let into the Vatican?
