Pope Francis appeals that migrants not be sent back to unsafe countries

[Michie]

Pope Francis made an appeal for migrants Sunday, calling on the international community to stop deporting migrants to unsafe countries.

“I express my closeness to the thousands of migrants, refugees and others in need of protection in Libya: I never forget you; I hear your cries and pray for you,” Pope Francis said on Oct. 24.

“We need to end the return of migrants to unsafe countries and prioritize rescuing lives at sea,” he said.

Speaking from the window of the Apostolic Palace, the pope asked the Catholic pilgrims gathered in St. Peter’s Square to pray in silence for migrants, many of whom he said had been subjected to “inhumane violence.”

Islamic countries are 'unsafe' countries because of radical Islamic beliefs. Why should the West allow those in who basically hold these same beliefs?

Also Christ may not help people who don't believe in his divinity.

Please pardon me for asking this, but are lay Catholics becoming more woke? Should I expect to see homilies talking about "racism" and "sexism" and "xenophobia"? Don't get me wrong; I'm still intent on continuing my journey into the Church because of doctrine, but I'm wondering if I'm going to be the only one who will have to deal with keeping things inside.

Many who are coming here are victims of totalitarian regimes. Not all fathers want to see their gay son dropped from a roof top or their daughter acid washed or living under a burka. We just need to vet those who do.

Is it 'woke' or sharing the bounty we have? Imo, everyone ought to stay in their home countries and improve there, but what if they can't? There are millions of Christians and other minorities in these countries.

It seems they may be, as with many evangelicals, swept into the UN's Agenda 21. Ecumenical movements such as, and Evangelicals and Catholics Together are starting to bear globalist fruit.

That's not good.
