Pope Francis criticizes the treatment of illegal migrants in Europe, thoughts?


This Pope will not be missed, and I haven't forgotten that his predecessor was basically forced to abdicate because he wanted to clean house in the Vatican. Between that, his hypocrisy, and just the general turning a blind eye to major crisis going on in the world so he can play footsie with globalist psychopaths, he's pretty abysmal at his job as a leader. I have yet to see him even acknowledge the persecution of Christians in the Middle East and Africa, or stand up for priests being arrested for holding masses during COVID, but he didn't waste time in vocally avoiding the issue of pedophiles in the clergy with "it's not our role to judge."
The the sex sandals came out during Benedicts reign I left. When the "Francis" spoke I just said, "yep I made the right choice".

He also told Christians to Martyr themselves rather than fight back against Muslim Extremists in Europe. Uuuuuuh how about NO! I won't go down without a fight.
Catholic Church has been always a congregation of hypocrites. The best tool against illegal immigration is lack of financial welfare. I don't think Vatican will lose a dime for the sake of helping immigrants, they just want earn money with human trafficking and pseudo hospitality in immigrants target countries. Church is a society's parasite like immigrants from Maghreb and middle east.
I've never understood why people get upset on enforcing the law. So many open border advocates thinking that there should be no country borders.
No borders means all the good places to live would be overrun.

Gotta love when presumably Catholic Americans criticizes their infallible paragon of virtue. Remember, the pope is your direct link to Jesus and here you are criticizing his words. That said, I could say the same about Jesus and the Bible, both are big fans of immigration (including illegal immigration).
All Popes are a direct link to Satan.
The pope is just your angel old man. Nothing holy about him. By what grace of did imbu him with powers of the beyond hmmm?
@LadiesFavoriteToy By the very foundation of the Catholic faith. He is given authority over the Catholic faith. If you do not follow him then basically you are not a Catholic.
@LadiesFavoriteToy Actually scratch that. Lets actually quote some stuff at you since they make it ABUNDANTLY clear.
"the Pope enjoys, by divine institution, supreme, full, immediate, and universal power in the care of souls."
"Papal supremacy is the doctrine of the Catholic Church that the Pope, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, the visible source and foundation of the unity both of the bishops and of the whole company of the faithful, and as pastor of the entire Catholic Church, has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered"
"earthly representative of Christ"
He is the de-facto leader of the whole faith by divine decree. Questioning him is the same as questioning Jesus Christ.
Define a Christian by Jesus's standards.
@LadiesFavoriteToy Jesus as a Jew and died a Jew. Christianity only came about after his death. By his definition, there is no Christianity.

I dont particularly care in this case because the Bible agrees with the Pope in this case.
He seems to be validating snowflakes and the idiotic 'no borders' crowd, despite the fact that immigration laws exist for a reason. These people would shit themselves if they ever watched "Nothing To Declare" on Sky TV. We need to be more like Australia in our immigration policies.
Simples...
You said it all. Those are illegals. They should be sent back to where they came from. Lets make this clear though. I'm not against immigrants. But please people come in through proper channels. Do it legally.
Exactly. This pope is an abomination. If he thinks the imported Muslims are mistreated he should invite them there. He’s a communist dog.
And you still think leftists aren't stupid. This Pope is an activist, not a religious leader.
the pope is an idiot. he isn't thinking about geopolitics.
kindness is not a worldview. you can't be kind to everyone especially if they are entitled greedy theives come to steal our wealth
Maybe he's hoping to score points with Muslims? Most of the illegal immigrants in Europe are coming from the Middle East. Just an educated guess on my part.
Of course I agree but its hypocritical by a guy in charge of a child rape organization
What an idiot. Why does he not open his nice house to the poor to stay in it. This pope is a joke.
Why would I care what the seat of the Antichrist says
The Pope, like any other person, is entitled to his opinion.
I can't believe I'm defending the Pope but to the church there are no legals and illegals, there are just God's children. Then too there are no countries, just the Kingdom of God.
I would say the same thing but I am afraid I would burn in hell.
I don’t like the Pope at all. He’s way too busy playing politics.
All Popes are devils.
Not true. Pope John Paul was a splendid man and most past Popes were actually very good
No man. Don't be deceive. These men don't follow Biblical teachings but rather mix in Biblical with pagan practices. All Popes, Cardinals and Bishops are devils in disguise.
I’m open to the idea but can you elaborate? I’ve studied the Popes and that’s not really something I’ve noticed
#1: Purgatory is a false doctrine which they teach.
#2: That Mary was a virgin and never had sex which is a lie. She had sex after Jesus was born according to the Bible.
#3: The Catholic church has the authority to declare someone a Saint which is false. All born again Christians are saints automatically by the grace and blood of Jesus Christ.
#4: They teach and call a man (Pope) "Father" which Jesus clearly prohibited calling someone such a title.
#5: They teach you must confess your sins to some priest which is a lie.
You don't have to confess your sins to anyone except Jesus Christ who alone has authority to forgive sins.
And I'm sure I'm forgetting some other things.
Haven’t looked into #4 but #5 is just encouraged. Priests are almost just a pathway closer to God. They act as a mediator in our relationship with him and help lead us closer
There's one mediator between God and man, the man is Jesus Christ only according to the Bible.
So what’s the point of church then? Is it not to offer spiritual guidance?
Yes, but not the Catholic Church. That Church must be avoided at cost.
I really don’t see the issue bro. The beef you got doesn’t seem to justify it’s hatred. Mainly petty things you criticize the church for so I can’t be bothered
Because you don't know the Bible and Revelation. The Catholic church is extremely evil to the core.
You are right. But there are other Catholics who study the Bible and they are still members
They are brainwashed from birth. Extremely difficult for someone to leave that church since it's all they known all their lives.
Try telling that to your hispanic buddies lol
FCK the church! And popes SO MUCH!
Why do people storm the US Capitol?
