Gosh this is alarming! What’s going on? What is going through Pope Francis mind? Is he content to make Roman Catholicism subservient to Islam? Is he willing to see Catholicism eradicated? Does he imagine the Church will somehow be able to convert most of these migrants? How does he imagine the host nations will be able support and or assimilate millions of freeloading migrants? Is he somehow in league with the Leftist globalists like Merkel is? It would seem the Pope has an erroneous perception of what this migration is all about, that it is a humanitarian crisis rather than a cleverly managed invasion. It appears that he continues to be an astonishingly soft-headed sentimentalist as well as being a liberation theologian. On the other hand there exists the possibility he knows something we don’t? The Church holds secrets only the Pope is briefed on. Such the Prophesies of Fatima. Is the Apocalypse on its way, the final war between Christendom and Islam foretold by Nostradamus? Are these things that must come to pass? Oh well, Occam’s Razor tells us the simplest explanation to a phenomenon is usually the correct one. Certainly it is the only one we will have the power to act on.
Some interesting tidbits from Pope Francis' statement on migrants and refugees. Via Andrew Stuttaford at the National Review.
"Migration movements are now a structural reality, and our primary issue must be to deal with the present emergency phase by providing programmes which address the causes of migration and the changes it entails, including its effect on the makeup of societies and peoples."
"At this moment in human history, marked by great movements of migration, identity is not a secondary issue. Those who migrate are forced to change some of their most distinctive characteristics and, whether they like or not, even those who welcome them are also forced to change."
"The presence of migrants and refugees seriously challenges the various societies which accept them. Those societies are faced with new situations which could create serious hardship unless they are suitably motivated, managed and regulated. How can we ensure that integration will become mutual enrichment, open up positive perspectives to communities, and prevent the danger of discrimination, racism, extreme nationalism or xenophobia?"
"Public opinion also needs to be correctly formed, not least to prevent unwarranted fears and speculations detrimental to migrants."
That last one is obviously the most ominous statement, but there is plenty of language here emphasizing the transformation of host societies. There is a failure to address the threat of migrants. Instead the only recognized threats are those of the host societies who reject migrants. There is also far too much talk about forming opinion, managing and regulating host societies and the need to change.
There is little to no acknowledgement of the inherent religious consequences of huge numbers of Muslims invading and settling in Europe. The words "Islam" and "Muslim" are never even mentioned.
