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.

Pope Francis, tear down Vatican City walls.
You tear down your walls first!
Sicko
I miss my beloved John PAUL . Or any Pope for that matter. This pope seems nothing but a Marxist in a Pope Dress.
What?
You can have a wall for protection? And the US can’t
Very hypocritical of the Pope tell him someone else to tear down walls yet he lives behind walls he’s going to try to live in the Muslim migrant area and see how things are maybe he will get a taste of reality
This pope needs to worry about Italy and quit worrying about the United States and he such a socialist
This man is not a pope. He is a South American Communist Jesuit, the most corrupt order of priests. He is a false pope. I am a Catholic but I will defy him and expose him as a heretic.
I wonder what the Cardinals think of this Pope they voted for. The Pope should know the history of all the Holy wars and he condemns these Countries for not taking in more refugees. The Catholic Church is wealthy, they should buy them a pc of land for the refugees. This Pope is nuts.
