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.

Tear your own down
Sir your popularity is waning, please support Jesus instead of jihad!
here he goes again sticking nose in where it should not go. He should concern himself with spiritual leadership or give up his papal position and run for political office
Tear the walls let them in see how long you live see how quick they strip the place
most divisive church leader in history, will be the end of the vatican if he keeps his ideas running with his mouth. No, I dont like him at all.
Is this pope a muslim? Sure sounds like it.
Eat chit commie !
Yea and tear down your wall around Vatican City and let all the immigrants in. Talk the talk …walk the walk!!!
He is a telefilms leader and needs to keep his nose out of any nations business. How would he like it if any countries leader told him to run the Catholic church. That not allowing woman to be priests is discrimination and that not allowing a divorced Catholic to take communion is also discrimination. Political leaders should not get involved with religion and religious leaders need to keep out of government!!!
TEAR DOWN YOUR WALL!
