New in PJ Media:
Pope Francis and Old Joe Biden are two of the towering figures of our times, and that says more about our times than it does about them. The two actually have a lot in common. Both are Roman Catholics, although both have sparked considerable speculation as to whether they are really believers at all. Both have a tendency to say outrageous things that are left to their handlers to do their best to “clarify.” And both are about as far to the left as it is possible to go, as the pontiff affirmed again Sunday with the latest guilt trip he attempted to bestow upon those who don’t think the United States should have open borders.
Appearing on “60 Minutes,” the pope claimed that “migration is something that makes a country grow,” and really, there’s no arguing with that. Just look at how the ranks of criminals, people on welfare, and the homeless have grown since Old Joe and his henchmen decided to erase the Southern border. Above all, look at how the ranks of Democrat voters have grown, and that’s what it has been all about.
As far as Pope Frank was concerned, however, opposition to open borders was just — you guessed it! — bigotry against the new arrivals. He recalled what Americans said in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries about the new migrants of the day: “They say that you Irish migrated and brought the whiskey, and that the Italians migrated and brought the mafia. Migrants sometimes suffer a lot. They suffer a lot.”
Stop it, Your Holiness, I’m gonna weep. But he has said worse. Back in April 2022, he stated that it was really all about — you guessed it again! — racism. “It is true,” the pope said, “refugees are subdivided. There’s first class, second class, skin color, [if] they come from a developed country [or] one that is not developed. We are racists, we are racists. And this is bad.”
On Sunday, the pope referred to the accusations of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) against Annunciation House, a Roman Catholic charity where migrants arriving across what used to be the border can stay for a while before they move into our major cities and the fun really begins. Paxton accused Annunciation House of “alien harboring, human smuggling, and operating a stash house.”
These charges appalled the pope, who responded, “That is madness. Sheer madness.” And it wasn’t just that he didn’t like what was being said about Annunciation House. Pope Francis made it clear that he didn’t like any criticism of open borders: “To close the border and leave them there, that is madness.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Why doesn’t Jorge Mario Borgoglio just ordain that the Vatican has open borders, and tear down the wall that surrounds it?
Every country has the right to determine its own immigration policies. Most people in El Paso, Texas, are ethnically Latino (especially Mexican-American), but I doubt that most of them would simply want the border to be thrown open, so that any undocumented person could cross.
By the way, El Paso is on the list of the safest cities in the United States, while neighbouring Ciudad Juarez is one of the most dangerous cities in Mexico, from what I’ve read.
Pretty soon, most people (even most Roman Catholics) are going to start calling him “Dope Francis.”

please someone asks to the chief of roman catholic christian church WHY the gates of vatican state in Rome are always perfectly closed to migrants ….
Gotta have hope says
I’d like to say something, but everything I think is above me in the first two posts.
somehistory says
Say it anyway. Use your own words and voice.
OLD GUY says
Let’s send a couple thousand migrants all expenses paid to the Vaticans open border retreat. Seems like the Pope has a double standard when it comes to migrants and his home, kind of like the residence of Martha’s Vineyard all for migrants as long as they don’t have to deal with them. Two face lier’s.
FYI says

Aw c’mon man!It’s what Jesus would want isn’t it?To keep all that money is..madness!

Thomas Hulting says
HOW MANY illegals does Pope Frank ALLOW to invade the Vatican?
somehistory says
The ‘pope’ does not know Jesus, Whom he claims to represent.
Jesus had a very close relationship with the Apostle John, who remembered the things Jesus taught him. That man wrote some Bible books bearing his name.
In one of them, he wrote: “If anyone does not bring this teaching, do not welcome him into your homes nor say a greeting to him.”
How many of those coming across the border….”into the home” of Americans, into the homes of those this ‘pope’ is continually castigating…”bring the teaching” of Jesus Christ?
the ‘pope,’ a creature who knows nothing about Christianity, Jesus Christ or His Heavenly Father, is constantly showing his ignorance of Truth, and his fondness for evil.
and…this should interest the ‘pope’
“Nuns Denounce Pope Francis, Break From Catholic Church”
“Sixteen Spanish nuns have announced they are breaking from the Catholic Church and instead placing themselves under the authority of Pablo de Rojas Sánchez-Franco, a self-styled bishop who was excommunicated in 2019.
“The 16 nuns, led by Sister Isabel of the Trinity, announced their break from Catholic authorities in a five-page open letter published on their convent’s website.
In the letter, Sister Isabel said Catholics have had to endure “the silence of our pastors,” who “left their sheep alone and helpless to face the wolves.”
there is a lot more….
“…..She added: “They are going to call us heretics and schismatics, crazy, and many more very disagreeable and calumnious things, but don’t believe them; at least this once, don’t let them fool you.”
In an attached 70-page document titled “Catholic Manifesto,” the group said it recognized “H.H. Pius XII as the last valid Supreme Pontiff,” adding that “the see of St. Peter is vacant and usurped.”
and a bunch of other stuff….of course, the ‘pope’ will deny or ignore it all

James Lincoln says
Any Catholic who trusts the words of Pope Francis is very naïve indeed.
Certainly the worst Pope in my lifetime…

Short story… An ex friend who lives in Carmel California, Native Californian, told me the Southern Border should be open to anybody that wishes to come into America for a better life.
SO, I suggested to him that tonight before he goes to Bed he should leave his Front Door wide open, Porch Light left on, a small Table close by with a Pitcher of Iced Tea and perhaps some Cookies for the wee kiddies and a sign pointing to the Bathroom and then he can go upstairs and sleep soundly with his Husband knowing he has done some good for the plight of the poor.
His reply to me…. YOU are an evil racist fascist scumbag and do not ever contact me again.
My reply to him… But,but,but, I was only trying to help you help the poor people that you are trying to help.
No reply…
