Pope Leo has criticised the world’s treatment of migrants and refugees, claiming that they are often viewed as “worse than house pets or animals”.


I couldn't see them if they stayed at home.

quote:

Speaking on Thursday, Leo said that countries have a right to control their borders, but urged richer nations to help develop the countries that migrants are leaving, so they do not feel the need to leave.

What are richer countries doing to change the situation for poorer countries?” he asked. “And why can’t we seek … to change the situations in [those] countries?”



Looks to me like he has some spare change.
Should have spent that money helping the savages instead of shipping them here.

quote:

Pope Leo also condemned the killing of protesters in Iran earlier this year, after President Trump attacked the Catholic leader for not speaking out on the subject whilst criticising the US-Israeli attacks on Iran.

“I condemn all actions that are unjust. I condemn the taking of people’s lives,” the pope said in response to a question in a Pope Leo also condemned the killing of protesters in Iran earlier this year, after President Trump attacked the Catholic leader for not speaking out on the subject whilst criticising the US-Israeli attacks on Iran



I'm glad Trump was able to line him out.

I don't hear the pope inviting them into Vatican City..... fricking hypocrite.

Or donating some of the hundreds of billions the Vatican has stashed in its bank and probably offshore accounts also.

Pope Leo should sell some of the art and artifacts in the basement of the Vatican to help migrants and refugees.

My huskimo has it pretty good full run of the house, has fresh pet food full time now. He is getting extra spoiled for a little bit since we had to put our 14.5 year old lab mix to sleep earlier this week.

So, we are advocating that these people should be treated worse than a house pet? I'm just trying to clarify the Zeitgeist of this board at the moment.

Let's treat them humanely as we place them into detention centers then deport them. They are criminals.

To be fair, I treat most of them worse than I treat my house pet

Then again, I can probably say that about most people.

House pets can be trained not to shite on the rug. Not sure I can way that for some of these refugees.

Well they're objectively worse than a house pet, so it kinda makes sense.
