Pope Francis pained at migrant deaths in English Channel

The pope asked the faithful gathered in St. Peter's Square for the traditional Sunday blessing to pray "for migrants and their suffering." Those present included members of an association of migrants with whom he met a day earlier at the Vatican, and who held an enormous banner comprised of flags from countries around the world.

"I feel pain at the news of the situation in which many find themselves. Of those who died in the English Channel, of those at the border of Belarus, many of whom are children. Those who drown in the Mediterranean. How much sorrow, thinking of them." Overnight Sunday, the Italian Coast Guard rescued 244 migrants off the coast of Calabria, the toe of the Italian boot, in difficult sea conditions. Those rescued included 41 minors, among them an infant born Saturday on the packed wooden fishing boat.

Omicron!

We agree, they are a pain...

More sanctimonious manure from Francis the talking mule.

Pontifex should start selling off the holdings of the Vatican and help these people find settlement instead of voicing his opinions and concerns from the god damned pulpit! Collectors would pay a king’s ransom for documents, artworks and textiles. Do something words mean nothing
