Pro-migration groups (and leftist politicians) are behind the ridiculous brainwashing that fails to differentiate between responsible migration and harmfully reckless migration policies. It remains to be seen whether Pope Leo XIV will begin to draw this distinction.
The report below quotes Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies, as saying: “The idea that ‘You were strangers once in Egypt’ means that you have to let every illegal immigrant come over the Mexican border is just absurd.” And the report delves into the money involved:
President Joe Biden’s deputies and allies used that claim as they spent billions of dollars to invite and covertly fund the migration of roughly ten million migrants to cities in the United States. Billions of dollars were given to Catholic migration groups and the United Nations’ migration agency.
In an article, How the Catholic Church Became a Champion of Biden’s Open Borders, the exorbitant funding is fleshed out. The same applies everywhere to groups and governments that support open borders.
Bishop Athanasius Schneider of the Archdiocese of Mary Most Holy in Astana, Kazakhstan posted an important message in March: “We are currently witnessing an invasion. There are no refugees here. It is an invasion of the mass Islamization of Europe.”
That tweet no longer exists. When you go to the link, you receive the message:
“This post is from a suspended account.”
But Bishop Schneider gave an interview some years ago about the powers behind mass migration:
We have to distinguish between different types of immigrations. I was a migrant, with my family, because we were persecuted and deported. When people are really persecuted, you need to help them. But as for the phenomenon of the European so-called immigration, it is clear and evident by what we can observe, that this is an orchestrated action of the international powerful political organizations. It is the aim, the clear aim, to take away from Europe its Christian and its national identity. It is meant to dilute the Christian and the national character of Europe. The majority of the so-called migrants are Muslims, so there is going on also an Islamisation of Europe.
Of course, these people are not guilty, but they are used as means by powerful organizations. This we cannot accept…
While Bishop Schneider identifies the powerful Marxist lobbies behind mass migration, other beneficiaries include jihadists, human traffickers, and drug cartels. The clueless in society who are unable to see the obvious believe their leaders, who sell them lies that open migration is about “compassion” and “religious duty.” Yet their compassion for the victims of unvetted migration is lacking.
As for the open migration-pushing pope, he’s is walled up at night in the Vatican, where no unvetted migrants are free to roam.
Leaders are tasked with resisting pressure from the darkest corners of their respective organizations, as well as from their followers. Pope Leo XIV will be tested to the utmost limits on this issue of migration at every turn — from monetary beneficiaries and globalist politicians down to people-smuggling NGO’s.
“Pro-Migration Groups Push Pope Leo XIV to Cheerlead for Mass Migration,” by Neil Munro, Breitbart, October 9, 2025:
Pope Leo XIV is being lobbied by Catholic bishops and nuns to endorse more migration flows, regardless of the vast civic and economic damage inflicted on citizens, Western societies, and the migrants’ home countries.
So far, the Pope is responding with generalities without detailed policy implications or direct opposition to Trump’s popular deportation of illegal migrants,
“In the communities of ancient Christian tradition, such as those of the West, the presence of many brothers and sisters from the world’s South should be welcomed as an opportunity, through an exchange that renews the face of the Church,” the Pope declared on October 5.
“Often [migrants] maintain their strength while seeking a better future, in spite of the obstacles that they encounter,” Leo said Oct. 2 in a meeting with Catholic migration advocates.
“You can read into [his comments] what you want when it comes to specifics of government policy, responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors lower levels of migration into Americans’ society.
The mistake that people — both in and outside the Catholic Church or any other church, — is that they imagine that the lessons of the Gospel and of the Fathers of the Church are somehow a 10-Point white paper on how we should run [immigration] policy. In fact they [provide] general rules about how to think about these questions, and different people will come to different conclusions.
However, there is a vast pro-migration industry — and supportive media — that wants to enlist Pope Leo XIV in their high-risk, controversial cause.
“Pope Leo will ‘stand with’ Catholic leaders in protecting immigrants’ rights, advocates say,” declared an October 8 report by Politico, which added;
A delegation including El Paso Bishop Mark Seitz and members of the Hope Border Institute, an advocacy group partnered with the El Paso archdiocese, presented the pope with hundreds of letters and a four-minute video from immigrants detailing their experiences as the Trump administration’ sdeportation campaign continues to expel thousands from the U.S.
“He watched the whole thing, and his eyes at the end were filled with tears as he watched it…..
Kuffar says
Catholic Charities were making BILLIONS of dollars by brining illegal border jumpers into the US and screwing the US tax paying citizens. Now that the gravy train has been derailed by President Trump the Anti-Pope Loe is all in on lying about how cruel Trump is and how we should be welcoming drug dealers, murderers, rapists, and child molesters into the US to further screw up our country. “Jesus was a refugee”, what a crock.

“Migration of Christians” would be one thing; something which might be *up his alley* (if he really was one).
However, most of the so-called “migrants” are not Christian.
Christians shouldn’t be held to account for what the *migrants* encounter, and are in no way responsible for taking care of …mostly adult males….who wish to do harm to those who hold out a helping hand.
There is an old song which asks, “Why don’t you mind your own business?”
Just guessing here, as I’m not Catholic (although I have friends who are), but shouldn’t the business of Catholic nuns and priests be taking care of other Catholics? Seeing to their spiritual needs, and perhaps helping out with those in poverty who need some extra attention?
GE says
Once upon a time, the Church’s mission was supposed to “make disciples of all
nations.”
You might know the verse, somehistory—
Isn’t there a scripture that those that neglect their own are worse than the heathens?
And the new pope? I have fears that it’s
“Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.”
somehistory says
Yes, GE, straight from The Master, “Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit….”
And you are right… Paul wrote to his young friend, Timothy (first letter, 5:8), “But those who won’t care for their relatives, especially those in their own household, have denied the true faith. Such people are worse than unbelievers.” New Living Translation
No one should expect any useful thing from this ‘new boss.’
Joe1 says
“but shouldn’t the business of Catholic nuns and priests be taking care of other Catholics? Seeing to their spiritual needs, and perhaps helping out with those in poverty who need some extra attention?”
No, Catholic means universal, and we see the human race as the Body of Christ. However, like the amniotic sac and its contents, only a fraction enters into the next life. Jesus assures us that we don’t know who will be saved.
As far as I can tell, Leo XIV has abandoned the Petrine ministry in every way that he can. For example, it seems that the qualification of a bishop is a homosexual mason who would be an enemy of the Church. Catholics would do well to look to the popes before Francis.
While Catholics are required to hear the cry of the poor, they are also required to follow the laws.
Catholics have a duty to defend against Islam. We just had the Feast of the Holy Rosary (Oct 7) which is 100% about fighting Islam. Pope Pius V declared it a feast to celebrate the victory at Lepanto. Informed Catholics know that letting hundreds of Muslims into a Christian country is anathema.
somehistory says
Those who belong to the Catholic church may see the whole human race as “the body of Christ,” but not all Christians believe that. Jesus even said that His “friends are those who obey His commandments,” and He gave the illustration of the ‘virgins’….some kept their lamps lit and joined Him, while others fell asleep and let their lamps go out.’ That means that those ones represented do not join Christ.
There are many other verses which say different. Much like when He was saying, “there are other sheep not of this fold,” and “the sheep know my voice.” If all of mankind could hear His “voice” and respond, He wouldn’t have made a separation. and, He even said when He returns, He “will separate ” the people of earth as a “shepherd separates the sheep and the goats.”
somehistory says
This statement seems to support what I wrote yesterday about the business of nuns and priests.
“Such a Catholic witness not only would support the Catholic faithful those bishops have promised to serve,….” **support the Catholic faithful…..those bishops have **promised to serve.**

Do you suppose that Poop Leo will invite ILLEGAL ALIENS to live within the 38′ walls surrounding the Vatican???

Nope…
OLD GUY says
I’ve always thought that leaders were supposed to lead by example. Pope just how many muslim/islamic migrants has the Vatican taken in to support?
Westman says
As the Rabbi said in Fiddler On The Roof, “There is a blessing for everything.”
However, if Pope Leo can be persuaded to bless a hunk of ice, he might make Pope Francis into a centrist. Of course Leo will cheerlead for mass migration and “equity”.
If equity is an eternal principle then we all have the same reward and would go to the same place, which mathematically, would be somewhere between Heaven and Hell, like Mediocrity. Imagine the new clichés, “I’ll see you in Mediocrity!”, “It was hot as Mediocrity”, “Oh dear Maggie, this time with you has been a truly Mediocre experience”, “This side of Mediocrity”, “He was faster than a bat out of Mediocrity!”, “Doing it, for the Mediocrity of it”, “It was Mediocrity on earth, ……

James Lincoln says
Is it possible that Pope Leo XIV could be as bad – or worse – than Pope Francis?
Wellington says
I wish, James, I could perish that thought—but I can’t. The Catholic Church is no longer a bulwark of the West. It has gone into globalist stupid mode.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
Tragically, it appears so…

This Pope blessed ice, believe it or not. While Christians in Africa, Syria (and other places) are being masacred. This Pope definitely is not a good one.

Then the ice can become a saint. I hope it will start the end of Vatican
Tim gallagher says
You would think that, by now, everyone with even half a brain would have woken up to what a disaster it has been to let Muslims invade Europe Christianity is opposed to people committing suicide and yet the church leaders seem to think that Europeans should commit cultural suicide be letting barbaric
Muslims invade. They seem to want their Christian flock to suffer at the hands of the vicious Muslims.
Daniel Triplett says
I was hoping for one of the Black African Bishops at the front row of the N African Jihad / slaughter to replace Dhimmi Francis.
Didn’t happen, so at first Leo seemed like a decent choice since he’s American – so maybe we could persuade him a little to do right and exalt Jesus Christ as Lord & Savior for all – with no quarter for false idols. To fight hard and publicly against the Jihad.
I’ll stay tuned for further info to come.

“Ex-Blackwater Chief Erik Prince Calls On Pope To Protect Nigerian Christians From ‘Marauding Muslims’”
“Former head of Blackwater and military contractor Erik Prince called on Pope Leo XIV to fund private protection amid the mass slaughter of Christians in Nigeria.
Responding to an Oct. 1 video of the pope blessing a block of ice at the Vatican, a gesture meant to raise awareness of climate change, Prince told the pope that he has “a better idea.””

Wozu brauchen die Gläubigen einen Pabst? Was ist seine Aufgabe? Was macht der den ganzen Tag?
Geht er irgendeiner sinnvollen Beschäftigung nach? Forscht er heimlich und konspirativ nach der Weltformel hinter den Mauern des Vatikans? Vollendet er Michelangelos Deckenfresko in der Sixtinische Kapelle ( ihr wisst schon, nackte Körperteile überpinseln) ?
Fragen über Fragen.
Aber einen Eisberg segnen ist PUNK und immerhin besser, als Weiwasser auf Panzer spritzen.
Für mich ist das keine Autorität sondern eine heuchlerische verlogene Witzfigur. AMEN

The Pope’s of current have it all wrong and the issue is this: how much money can the church gather.
The Catholic Church has lost their way a long time ago, it is apparent with the idea’s they are spouting.
Scripture in the catholic bible is entirely different from a Holy Bible, I don’t remember reading Jesus saying to go and say 3 hail Mary’s to a statue to worship God and repent. (Idol worship?)

“Pope Leo calls on U.S. bishops to stand up for migrants’ rights”
“This week, a clear, uncompromising picture emerged of Pope Leo: He cares about the plight of migrants, and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops should, as well. But will it? His comments about the bishops in the United States may have sent a chill down some of their spines. He said, “I wish that they were stronger in their own voice.””

somehistory says
“At his election, there were many conservatives who were hopeful that the American-born Pope Leo would be a change from Pope Francis, whom they considered too liberal and whom some even called an apostate pope. Now that Pope Leo is clearly articulating his stance regarding migrants, conservatives are ready to tell him to focus on the church, and not these issues.”
