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.
Pope Leo is evidently a globalist sympathizer just as his predecessor was. The headline is quite right in highlighting the utter hypocrisy of the Vatican on this issue. There is something fundamentally both ridiculous and unjust when the Pope is one of the most well-protected men in the world, yet he asks the members of his flock to run the risks of mass migration. When can we expect to see him welcome ":refugees" into his home? Something tells me we'll be waiting a long time for that one. Unpleasant though it may be, it must be concluded that Pope Leo is betraying his people, civilization and his faith.
