Thread: Pope calls on every parish in Europe to take in one migrant family each

    Thumbs up Pope calls on every parish in Europe to take in one migrant family each

    As thousands of refugees pour into Europe, Pope Francis has called on every parish and religious community to take in one family each.

    He said the Vatican state would set the example, with its two parishes each taking in a family of refugees in the coming days.

    There are more than 25,000 parishes in Italy alone, and some 12,000 in Germany, where many refugees fleeing war and hardship in the Middle East hope to end up.

    “Faced with the tragedy of tens of thousands of refugees, the Gospel calls us and asks us to show solidarity to the most vulnerable and those who have been abandoned — to give them a real hope,” Pope Francis said after his Sunday address in the Vatican.

    The crowd in St. Peter’s Square applauded the pontiff, himself the son of Italian emigrants to Argentina, as he said: “Every parish, every religious community, every monastery, every sanctuary of Europe, take in one family.”

    Mark my words, this is going to turn out bad for Western European nations

    It is by design. Consider the notion that wars and conditions they are fleeing were instigated certain influential persons in Europe with the intent to undermine the populations. In the USA its immigrants streaming across the US-Mex border driven by gang wars and poverty. In Europe its people driven by wars. From Cuba they were probably driven to the USA by persecution. The entire situation could be a blessing with a silver lining if it were at all handled appropriately. Notice that this is happening with the economies and infrastructures of both European countries and the USA are groaning under deficiencies. One thing is in some European countries, they ostracize the immigrants and deny them access to work, etc. which encourages crime. But the citizens/people of those Europeans don't see themselves as doing anything wrong.

    13,000 refugees flow into Western Europe after travel restrictions eased

    Hungarian police stood by as thousands of migrants hopped cross-border trains Sunday into Austria, taking advantage of Hungary's surprise decision to stop screening international train travelers for travel visas, a get-tough measure that the country had launched only days before to block their path to asylum in Western Europe.

    Fourteen trains from Hungary's capital of Budapest arrived at the Hegyeshalom station near the Austrian border, disgorging migrants onto the platform. Police didn't check documents as passengers, mostly migrants, walked a few yards (meters) to waiting Austria-bound trains, which typically left less than 3 minutes later. Austrian police said more than 13,000 migrants have passed through their country to Germany over the past two days, far more than expected.

    Arabs, Asians and Africans who often have spent weeks traveling through Turkey, Greece and the Balkans to reach Hungary, a popular back door into the European Union, found to their surprise they were permitted Sunday to buy tickets to take them all the way into Austria and Germany. Hungary had insisted last week they would no longer be allowed to do this.

    A local pastor I'm friends with has said pretty much the same thing.

    Ask yourself "why no so called leaders have opened their homes up to these people, but yet they expect everyone else to have open doors & their food pantries to feed strangers" ?

    All these things from 9/11 (see Operation Bojinka) to the "sea of migrants"--it was well in the intelligence community even back in the mid 90s that they would happen. Hardly anyone would listen.

    You mean the same "leaders" who live off of the blood, sweat and tears of millions if not billions of others? They're going to open their perty mansions to help the poor invitees? Why would they do that when they can send them to feed on someone else's corn? The same "leaders" who wanted to outlaw body armor and bullet-proof vests for anyone but politicians?

    Very true, there is an awful double standard with these people opening our borders up. If something's not done to stem the flow of illegals
    the Western nations WILL fall

    Germany Says It Can Sustain 500,000 Asylum Seekers Every Year

    German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel says the country is economically strong enough to grant the asylums

    German officials say the country is prepared to sustain a steady stream of asylum seekers from war-torn countries in the Middle East and Northern Africa over the long-term.

    Thousands of migrants and refugees have sought reprieve in European countries over the past year, traveling from Turkey to Greece and spreading across the European Union. Germany alone is expecting 800,000 people to seek asylum this year, four times the number from 2014, according to BBC News.
