A viral video shows Pope Leo XIV welcoming a large group of African migrants in Sicily, but Vatican City bans illegal immigration with huge fines and jail time.
(LifeSiteNews) — Images of Pope Leo XIV welcoming African migrants to Europe has sparked outrage, as some accuse the Pontiff of encouraging the weakening of western nations while maintaining Vatican City as an impenetrable fortress that threatens illegal migrants with huge fines and lengthy prison sentences.
In a widely viewed video posted by EWTN, the Pope can be seen greeting a large group of migrants who had just made their way by boat to the Sicilian Island of Lampedusa. He also prayed at a cemetery there for migrants who died making the perilous journey.
The viral video has been seen over 1.1 million times while triggering nearly 2,000 mostly negative comments because of the Vatican’s longstanding hypocrisy on migration and open borders.
“The Church’s silence regarding the threats European Christians face is already deafening. Combining it with telling Europeans that they must do more to ‘integrate and protect migrants’, is adding insult to injury,” declaredEva Vlaardingerbroek, conservative European commentator and founder of the Save Europe Act, responding to the video.
“The Pope’s decision to do this now, right as Europe is witnessing yet another wave of murders of its citizens by migrants (think of Louis, Christian, Henry, and the countless others) cannot be dismissed as a mere public relations blunder,” Vlaardingerbroek wrote.
Louis, Christian, Henry and the “countless others” she refers to are young people who were recently brutally murdered or sexually assaulted by migrants amid western Europe’s suicidal policies favoring migrants over native-born citizens.
“It is a painful slap in the face of the Christian native peoples of Europe and all those who lost their children and loved ones as a result of mass migration,” Vlaardingerbroek said.
