Pope Francis spoke with German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the Vatican this past Friday, May 6th, and once again chastised Western Europe over the Syrian refugee crisis.
Hundreds of thousands of migrants are flooding into Germany and surrounding countries, with Germany set to receive perhaps one million immigrants this year alone.
The problem is that the refugees are not simply Syrian families fleeing the violence, but hordes of people coming in from the Middle East and Africa, with no documents to show who they are, with a decided skew towards single young men, with many of the newcomers demanding jobs, money, and houses, and many declaring their commitment to spread Islam and to overwhelm the local populace.
This is not what one would assume is a beleaguered populace seeking refuge, but a conquering army being invited in to begin the revolution. Given the recent history of Islamic terrorism in Western Europe, plus the financial burden on countries that are already suffering from too many people and not enough work, it is entirely understandable that local populations would be dubious of the groups washing into their countries.
The Pope, however, has a different take on the situation, and he spent time criticizing various nations who are reacting to the emigres.

OK, but 1st tear down your walls around Vatican City and feed & house the refugees and back your mouth?
He needs to meditate for a number of years, like 200 of them!
How are those child molesting priest working out for you Pope.I don’t listen or follow any religion that hides and covers up such behavior.
Mind your own business Pope.
Hypocrite, want others to do what you won’t!
No no no!!! No to Muslims!!!!
Fucking hypocrite!
This is a liberal Pope. I’m sorry, but I disagree with many of his beliefs. Instead of BRINGING CATHOLICS INTO THE CHURCH, HE IS PUSHING THEM AWAY. HE WOULD DO BETTER TO STAY OUT OF POLITICS!!!
You first.
Tear down the walls around the Vatican and let them into your House Pope..
