Pope Francis on Monday urged countries to greatly improve their welcome to migrants and stop collective expulsions, saying migrants’ dignity and right to protection trumps national security concerns. Francis’ politically pointed message was made in view of the Catholic Church’s 2018 world refugee day, celebrated Jan. 14. It comes amid mounting anti-immigrant sentiment in Europe and beyond following waves of migrant arrivals and Islamic extremist attacks. In the message, Francis demanded governments welcome, protect, promote and integrate migrants, saying Jesus’ message of love is rooted in welcoming the “rejected strangers of every age.” He demanded a simplified process of granting humanitarian and temporary visas and rejected arbitrary and collective expulsions as “unsuitable.” He said the principle of ensuring each person’s dignity “obliges us to always prioritize personal safety over national security.” Francis has made refugees a priority of his pontificate, making his first trip outside Rome in 2013 to the island of Lampedusa, ground zero in Europe’s migration crisis. He has repeatedly spoken out for migrants’ rights, demanded countries build “bridges not walls,” and personally brought a dozen Syrian refugees back to Rome with him when he visited a Greek refugee camp in 2016. Ignoring critics who say his calls are unrealistic and naive, Francis insisted in the new message that border guards must be trained to protect migrants and that each new arrival, regardless of legal status, must be guaranteed access to basic services beyond health care. That extends to guaranteeing access to consulates, the justice system and the ability to open a bank account and survive financially, he said. Unaccompanied minors, he said, require even greater protection, including guaranteeing them citizenship and access to schooling, as well as foster programs rather than detention centers. He called for policies that support family reunification, employment opportunities and accelerated citizenship procedures to improve migrants’ abilities to integrate. His call was immediately rejected by the leader of Italy’s anti-immigrant Northern League party, which has opposed government proposals to change Italy’s law to accelerate citizenship for children born in Italy to non-Italians. “If you want to do it in the Vatican, go ahead,” Matteo Salvini wrote on Facebook. “But as a Catholic, I don’t think Italy can welcome and support the whole world.” http://www.breitbart.com/faith/2017/08/21/pope-francis-rights-migrants-trump-national-security-concerns/ .....this pope is nothing but caca. |

I'm not a fan of any of the popes. I have Roman Catholic friends who really liked John Paul II though. The only thing I like about this pope is how he drinks mate daily, I wonder which brand(s) he prefers? |

The Roman Catholic Church has since 1959 become a stooge for the global interest banking criminals. Watch what this Popess says, everything she advocates brings more billions in interest payments to global interest banking criminals from nations forced to borrow money to pay for the things that she demands. She is sooooooooo ugly and she looks like she smells really bad. But there was a wonderful time, long ago, when Popesses were FABULOUS!!!! Paul II (1464-71). Petulant, effeminate and a practising homosexual , Paul would have jumped at the chance of being placed at the head of the annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. It was well-known that Paul spent vast sums of church money on Mardi Gras-like parades, spectaculars, banquets and other "diversions of the Carnival". He slept during the day and spent nights adorning himself with priceless jewellery and frolicking with his numerous boyfriends in the sumptuous rooms of the Vatican. It was said Paul loved all things that glittered and wore a huge sparkling, jewel-encrusted tiara that "outweighed a palace in its worth". Paul also was "into voyeurism and bondage" and liked nothing more than to watch naked men being racked and tortured in the papal dungeons. It was said that during a particularly vigorous "session" on July 26, 1471, Paul died of a heart attack while being sodomised by one of his favourite boys ... Alexander VI (1492-1503) has been described as one of the world's wealthiest men and "the most notorious pope in all history". In his Philosophical Dictionary, Voltaire said Alexander lived like a prince and held wild orgies involving men, women - even animals. It was said Alexander liked to watch - and sometimes participate - as groups of men masturbated while servants "kept score of each man's orgasms". "For the pope greatly admired virility," said Voltaire, "and measured a man's machismo by his ejaculative capacity." After everyone was exhausted, Voltaire said, Alexander distributed prizes of cloaks, boots, caps, and fine silken tunics to those men who produced the most semen ... Pope Julius II (1503-13) has been credited with introducing the Swiss soldiers who still guard the Vatican. To Julius, "religion was not even a hobby" - but it appeared surrounding himself with attractive young men like the virile Swiss guards was. Julius no doubt liked his guards' tights tight and their codpieces bulky. Contemporary chroniclers described Julius as "a great sodomite" who "abused two young gentlemen, besides many others". Famously, it was said Julius once committed "unnatural vice" with the gay sculptor Michelangelo, whom he had "pressured" into painting the Sistine Chapel Leo X (1513-21) was said to have invited guests to lavish banquets with up to 65 courses at which little boys jumped naked out of puddings. It was no secret Leo was "a lover of boys" who possessed also "an insatiable love of pleasure". Like Pope Paul II, Leo loved parades and his passion was to travel around Rome at the head of a long procession featuring panthers, jesters, and a white elephant called Hanno - a gift from the King of Portugal. Scholar Joseph McCabe said Leo was "a coarse, frivolous, cynical voluptuary, probably addicted to homosexual vice in the Vatican". Leo spent much of his childhood in numerous abbeys which, like many monasteries since the time of Leo III (795-816), had become homosexual haunts. Even before he became pope, Leo X allegedly had been a practising sodomite. On the day of his election, Leo suffered from chronic ulcers and had to be carried into the conclave on a stretcher. Not a few remarked that the ulcers had been caused by his "boyish predilections" . Julius III (1550-55) was said to have been a typical Renaissance pope in that, like Alexander VI, Julius II and Leo X, he loved banqueting, spectacles and other sensual pleasures. Gay and incestuous, Julius took as his lovers both his bastard son, Bertuccino, and his adopted son, Innocenzo del Monte, whom he had picked up in the streets of Palma. This caused a grave scandal especially when Julius made the 17-year-old Innocenzo first a cardinal and then head of the Secretariat of State ... It was said Benedict IX (1032-44; 1045; 1047-48), like Alexander VI, hosted lavish homosexual orgies and "manifested a precocity for all kinds of wickedness". He was described as "a demon from Hell disguised as a priest" who turned the Lateran into the "best brothel in Rome". Being the youngest pope to have ascended the throne - Benedict was 12 on his election - it appears the position went to his head. He lived like a Turkish sultan and expressed his sexual leanings by having sex with men, women and animals. The Catholic Encyclopedia described Benedict as "a disgrace to the Chair of St Peter". Such depths of degradation were reached under Benedict's rule that, at age 23, an attempt was made to strangle him at the altar during mass on the feast of the apostles ... The Catholic Encyclopedia said of Boniface VIII (1294-1303) that "his pontificate marks in history the decline of the medieval power and glory of the papacy". A cardinal once said of Boniface: "He is all tongue and eyes, and the rest of him is all rotten". The pontiff's most famous remark on the subject of homosexuality was that "it is no more a sin than to rub your hands together". Boniface should know: he had at least two gay lovers - including Giacomo de Pisis and Guglielmo de Santa Floria ... In 836, the Council of Aix-la-Chapelle openly admitted that, following the rule of Pope Leo III (795-816), homosexuality was rife in many monasteries. The situation was so bad that, before becoming a bishop, priests were asked whether they had sodomised a boy, had fornicated with an animal or had committed adultery. It was not stated whether the applicant had to answer yes or no in order to be consecrated ... The eminent German historian Leopold von Ranke dismissed Clement VII (1523-34) as "the most disastrous of all pontiffs". He was described as a "sodomite" who had a taste for the exotic. The Italian historian Gino Capponi said Clement kept as a paramour "a Moorish or mulatto slave". Another chronicler observed Clement surrounded himself with pageboys whose jackets, under his rule, went from traditional knee-length to mid-buttock, "or even worse" ... The Catholic Encyclopedia described John XXIII (1410-15) as "utterly worldly-minded, ambitious, crafty, unscrupulous, and immoral, a good soldier but no churchman". In 1414, John was summoned before the Council of Constance accused of 70 crimes including sodomy, rape, incest and the murder of his predecessor, Alexander V (1406-10). The Bishop of Salisbury, Robert Hallum, spoke for the majority of the Council when he said John "ought to be burnt at the stake" for his crimes. Instead, the convicted sodomite was deposed where, in true church tradition, he later appeared as Cardinal Bishop of Tusculum before becoming Dean of the Sacred College in Rome ... Sixtus IV (1471-84) was described as a man who "embodied the utmost possible concentration of human wickedness". He "lowered the moral tone of Europe" when, in 1478, he issued a papal bull sanctioning the notorious Spanish Inquisition. Of his personal life, it was said Sixtus was gay - or at least bisexual - and "very probably engaged in incest". Sixtus made six "nephews" cardinals and was renowned as a "bountiful benefactor towards whores ...".I |

No, they were fabulous sisters! For Pope Julius "Religion was not even a hobby" and Julius was described by a contemporary writer as "a great sodomite"! Supposedly Julius also committed "un natural vice" with Michelangelo. |

There's a very good reason all Popes are known as "The Whore Of Rome". |

The worst are the ones since 1959 because they are the ones who destroyed the catholic church. Please note that these evil Popesses since 1959 were (are) all good friends with the Washington Post! Edited by Erna, Aug 22 2017, 03:15 AM.

This crap must not be selling well. They've marked 28 lb. slop buckets down from $250.00 to $125.00. People who buy into his scam must surely either be clinical morons or someone's feeding them stupid pills. I dare say even at $125.00/bucket the profit margin must be YUGE!

This sort of thing sells well in America due to Americans' hatred and fear of nature and sexuality. He could not make a dime over here in Europe. |

I guess Jim still doesn't understand people didn't tune in to see or hear him, the draw was Tammy Faye. Now he can't make it selling this mess. Shouldn't that tell him something? |
