The Pope is back at the migration wing of the New World Order, after doing a Covid vax run for a while. I don’t think it is productive to refute his obvious propaganda, since it is not meant for rational debate, but as knee-jerk wokeness. Still, it is worthwhile, for the record, keeping track on his outpourings. How neglecting migrants could be a wreck of civilisation is beyond me. What would ancient Greeks have thought of this? And what about China today, what do they do about refugees, let alone migrants? They do not seem to have any problem at all, even harvesting organs, something the Pope has never spoken of. In fact he only critiques whites. The ancient Greek like Plato, would have found all of this incomprehensible.
“Pope Francis on Sunday returned to the island of Lesbos, the migration flashpoint he first visited in 2016, calling the neglect of migrants the "shipwreck of civilisation".
The pope has long championed the cause of migrants and his visit comes a day after he delivered a stinging rebuke to Europe which he said was "torn by nationalist egoism".
"In Europe there are those who persist in treating the problem as a matter that does not concern them," the pope said as he spent some two hours at the Mavrovouni camp on Lesbos, where nearly 2,200 asylum-seekers live.
On the second day of his visit to Greece, he met dozens of child asylum-seekers and relatives standing behind metal barriers and stopped to embrace a boy called Mustafa.
"I am trying to help you," Francis told one group through his interpreter.
People later gathered in a tent to sing songs and psalms to the pontiff, who listened to them, visibly moved.
"His visit is a blessing," said Rosette Leo, a Congolese asylum-seeker at the site.
However, Menal Albilal, a Syrian mother with a two-month-old baby whose asylum claim was rejected after two years on the island, said refugees "want more than words, we need help".
"The conditions here are not good for a baby," she told AFP.
Pope Francis warned that the Mediterranean "is becoming a grim cemetery without tombstones" and that "after all this time, we see that little in the world has changed with regard to the issue of migration".
The root causes "should be confronted - not the poor people who pay the consequences and are even used for political propaganda", he added.
According to the International Organisation for Migration, 1,559 people have died or gone missing attempting the perilous Mediterranean crossing this year.
Several people have died on the Belarus-Poland border in recent weeks, caught between the two countries' border guards. The European Union accuses Minsk of having "weaponised" migrants against the West.
And 27 people drowned in a single incident last month trying to cross to England. Britain and France have traded barbs over the increasing number of migrants attempting the deadly Channel crossing.
The temporary Mavrovouni tent camp was hurriedly erected after the sprawling camp of Moria, Europe's largest such site at the time, burned down last year.
Greek authorities blamed a group of young Afghans for the incident and security was substantially enhanced for the pontiff's Sunday visit.
The pope's trip to Lesbos was shorter than his last as he later held a mass for some 2,500 people at the Megaron Athens Concert Hall.
In Cyprus, which the pope visited before Greece this week, authorities said that 50 migrants would be relocated to Italy thanks to Francis.
He took 12 Syrian refugees with him during his last visit to Lesbos in 2016.”
Only 12, with all the Vatican billions? Surely just a token effort.
The Pope though never said anything about terrorism and violence committed by migrants into Europe and in fact has turned a blind eye to it. But it is a major problem as Robert Spencer points out: “What’s more, all of the jihadis who murdered 130 people in Paris in November 2015 had just entered Europe as refugees. In February 2015, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. The Lebanese Education Minister said in September 2015 that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in camps in his country. On May 10, 2016, Patrick Calvar, the head of France’s DGSI internal intelligence agency, said that the Islamic State was using migrant routes through the Balkans to get jihadis into Europe.”
