On Wednesday, Pope Francis declared that refusing to assist the countless of workers who are scurrying into Europe was a “grave sin” and that the older term” Catholic guilt” had gained new significance. Refusing to become an open-borders globalist leftist takes its place among pride ( well, that one is borderline these days, too ), anger, lust, sloth, and the rest.

Will Catholics who fought in earlier times to protect Europe’s cultural and religious traditions now face retroactive punishment for omitting their gates to the invasions? Although the pontiff was mum, you’re treading on dangerous ground as far as the Roman Catholic Church is concerned if you do n’t support mass migration into the West now.
Pope Francis” strongly decried the treatment of migrants crossing the Mediterranean Sea into Europe,” according to a report from Reuters. The bishop lamented that” there are those who work tirelessly and with every means to turn away immigrants.” And this, when done with consciousness and duty, is a burial sin”. The answer to this terrible, he said, may be “global management of movement based on fairness, brotherhood and solidarity”. Yeah, that did resolve anything.  ,
But wrongheaded and ill-considered the priest’s attitude on migration may be, one thing you can claim about him is that he’s steady. Back in May, he insisted that “migration is something that makes a nation grow”, and he was right: look at how the rates of thieves, people on security, and the poor have grown since Old Joe Biden, Border Czar Kamala Harris, and their henchmen decided to remove the Southern borders.
Pope Francis, however, was n’t hearing any of that. He decried traditional myths about refugees as a way to stop for talk:” They say you European traveled and brought the liquor, and that the Italians migrated and brought the gang.” Refugees occasionally experience severe suffering. They suffer a bunch”. He made it clear that he did n’t like any criticism of open borders:” To close the border and leave them there, that is madness”.  ,

Back in April 2022, the bishop claimed that criticism to mass movement was really all about prejudice:” It is true, migrants are subdivided. There’s first class, second class, skin color, ]if] they come from a developed country ]or ] one that is not developed. We are whites, we are whites. And this is bad” . ,
Of program. What other species besides whites could we be? The pope does n’t appear to have considered the possibility that there might be other causes of opposition to mass migration than racism. He has continuously framed the popularity of mass migration policies, with no respect for the cultural identity or morality, much less the safety, of the network state, as a core aspect of the Christian commitment.
In Francis’s apostolic exhortation” Gaudete et Exsultate” ( Rejoice and Exult ), he rhetorically questioned whether welcoming immigrants was “exactly what Jesus demands of us, when he says that we welcome him ( cf. Mt 25: 35 )? Saint Benedict responded to his orders to welcome all visitors who knocked at the monastery door with a gesture of veneration, the poor and pilgrims were met with” the greatest care and solicitude,” even though it might have” complicated” the life of his monks. ‘”  ,

Do the bishop have anticipated the monastery’s hordes of military-age men to be greeted, many of whom had committed atrocities in their new home, and some who had pledged to turn the convent into a mosque? The pope is unable to see how racism and prejudice may affect how Americans and Europeans may resist mass migration because they want financial and physical protection for themselves and their loved ones.

The pope does n’t even seem to be interested in the notion that some fervently Christian people, including Roman Catholics, might not associate welcoming a stranger with any movement that would undermine a country, erode its reputation, and influence its political scene. Does the bishop want to drown in a lake of refugees and leave what remains of Catholic Europe? That’s for certain how it appears.
Concerned Roman Catholics should then inquire about the pope’s declaration that opposing open borders constitutes a “grave evil” and that his politicization of the spiritual realm also constitutes a “grave sin”? There’s a problem for Roman Catholic theologians to examine.
