Summary
Pope Francis criticized Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans, calling them “a disgrace” that unfairly punish vulnerable individuals.
Speaking on an Italian talk show, Francis argued such measures fail to solve underlying issues and conflict with principles of justice and inclusion.
He also congratulated Trump on his inauguration, urging him to promote a just society free of hatred and exclusion.
U.S. Catholic leaders echoed the pope’s concerns, citing Catholic teachings on protecting human dignity and welcoming migrants, despite national security challenges.
If you were born on the Google campus, would you expect them to give you citizenship? A job?
…Vatican City is not a state like any other, it’s a pet protectorate of Italy. Don’t compare a tiny speck of land with one of the biggest countries in the world, a country whose economy is reliant on the immigrants it wants to expel now. All that does is create a situation where employers can extort workers by saying “what’s the phone number of ICE, again”?
Vatican City issues it’s own passports. It is sovereign.
And none of what you said excuses them for having policies that are much more restrictive than the USA, just to turn around and “holier than thou” the USA on policies.
If the Vatican was the size of the US I very much doubt they would have the policies they do.
