Pope Francis has prayed for migrants in a special Mass, saying they are people and not just a social issue.
The Mass, celebrated in St. Peter's Basilica on Monday, marked the sixth anniversary of the pope's visit to the Italian island of Lampedusa on July 8, 2013. Francis had been pope for only four months when he made the surprise visit, his first pastoral visit outside Rome. The island, halfway between Sicily and the North African coast, has become one of the main European points of entry for migrants and refugees trying to cross the Mediterranean to reach Europe.
The pope said"they are persons. These are not mere social or migrant issues. They are the symbol of all those rejected by today's globalized society."
The US is NOT part of a globalized society. We are a free nation unto ourselves - and will be dictated to by no other - ever.
RepEscobar Would the Pope be so inclined to pray if 99% of these illegals WERE NOT Catholic?
Listen the President doesn't even listen to the Pope! Like Mr; Pence a man of the church who won't listen to the pope either! He Pence should read this;
So let the massive wealth of the Catholic church help people in their own countries instead of encouraging them to leave
The pope works for his father Satan.
He needs to go to Mexico and tell them to stop coming over here ILLEGALLY!!! ,Tell them to stop putting their kids threw that shit. Tell them that NO country, not 1!!!, Allows ILLEGAL immigration!! Not 1. Tell them to stop hurting themselves
Pontifex is a symbol of all of those young people abused and rejected by the Catholic church and the pedophile priests who were supposed to watch out for the innocents among them.
DeanLeh Why is ABC reporting the words of a cult leader as if they matter?
Maybe he should pray about his staff banging kids first.
Pontifex Why not make a special visit.Mother Teresa had a mission.Attended to many who were rejected and she was not a Pope but a person w/heart & soul to the unjust.That is a portrayal of Jesus work. Tremendous servant of God for those who believe🤔Haga una visita especial!
Someday will have a real pope.
Francis is laying out the moral equivalent of an indictment of the Trump administration for crimes against humanity.
He should be focused on cleansing his 'flock' of the thousands of deviant, demonic pedophile priests under his 'rule' INSTEAD OF this.
Are you Listening Trump Follow the Real Leader
Agree! Tear down all walls!
Pray that the gangs quit causing all these problems for innocent people.
