Is Pope coming to US to lecture us (and Donald Trump) with "nation of immigrants" propaganda?

09/16/2015 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

It sure sounds like it! How dare he! And, who invited him to insert himself into our political system?
Oh, no surprise John Boehner*** invited him!
Previously we learned that Democrats are going to use the Pope’s visit to advance their goal of admitting 100,000 Syrians to the US in the next year!
Is Boehner working for Obama and the Democrats (just asking!)?
Citizens concerned about saving Western Civilization should be out in New York and Washington, DC protesting the message the Pope, we are told, will be spewing! According to the editor of a Catholic magazine he may even quote that historically inaccurate Emma Lazarus poem to guilt-trip you. Please spare us that lecture!

In 2013, Pope Francis helped fuel the invasion of Europe by welcoming illegal aliens to the island of Lampedusa. https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/2013/07/09/pope-lectures-on-lampedusa/

If you can’t be out with a protest sign next week, every Catholic who disagrees with this Pope on immigration should pen a letter to your local paper that begins with:

This Pope does not speak for me!

This is the news featured at Drudge earlier this morning!
And the church wonders why so many of us have left it!
From the Financial Times:

When Pope Francis makes his maiden visit to the US next week, he will accomplish something that has eluded the 2016 presidential contenders — overshadowing Donald Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination.

US television networks will provide wall-to-wall coverage of the visit, which will include the first speech by a Pope to Congress. [Thanks John Boehner!—ed] But while the pontiff will steal some of Mr Trump’s media thunder, he is also expected to wade into a debate about immigration — an issue that has helped propel the brash real estate magnate to the front of the Republican pack.

Since losing the 2012 election, party leaders have talked about the need to appeal to Hispanics, who are the fastest growing segment of the US electorate. But Mr Trump has upended that plan by campaigning against illegal Mexican immigrants, some of whom he has called “rapists”, and reopening a polarising debate that the Republicans had hoped to avoid in 2016.

Vatican officials say Pope Francis will focus heavily on immigration during his visit, which would insert him into the middle of presidential politics and could unsettle conservatives even more than his critiques of capitalism and environmentalist rhetoric.

“The Pope obviously has a very soft spot in his heart for immigrants,” said one Holy See insider. “He won’t say, ‘open all borders’, but there’s no two ways about it, he will say, ‘let’s give our immigrant brothers and sisters a fair chance’.” [So, if not all borders, how many, whose borders, and how wide? They will never answer those questions.—ed]

Give me a break! Emma Lazurus blah! blah! blah!

Robert Mickens, the Rome-based editor-in-chief of Global Pulse, the Catholic magazine, said that concern for migrants had been “one of the central themes” of Pope Francis’ social teaching. “He doesn’t need to scold the lawmakers but I think he will challenge them not to abandon America’s long history of welcoming immigrants,” Mr Mickens said.

“I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Pope were to quote those evocative line’s from Emma Lazarus’s poem that adorns the Statue of Liberty — ‘give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breath free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore’.”

And, one more thing! The Pope has made no appeal to put the persecuted Syrian Christians ahead of Sunni Muslims for protection by western countries. Correct me if I am wrong!
Here, Hungarian Bishop tells Pope he is wrong on Syrians arriving in Europe, calls them invaders.

***Is Boehner keeping the lid on the House Judiciary Committee on the Syrian refugee question until after the Pope leaves? Hmm!

Dems plan to use Pope's visit to guilt-trip America into taking vast numbers of Syrian 'refugees'

09/13/2015 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

pelosi4 — Watch for it! Nancy Pelosi will be sucking up to the Pope as they both promote the resettlement of Sunni Muslims to America and Europe!

If you are a regular reader, you know about this already. The Pope arrives in America on September 22nd and there is already a growing, massive public relations campaign to use his visit to guilt-trip America into taking tens of thousands (100,000!) of Syrian, mostly Muslim, refugees into America for permanent resettlement.
This article at US News and World Report, without saying it, implies that they all know these will be mostly Muslims and not the persecuted Christians (or other non-Muslim minorities).

There really should be protests at the time of the Pope’s visit—in New York and in Washington—calling out the Pope and the US Bishops for making no distinction between the Muslims who could be resettled in the wealthy Gulf Arab states and the persecuted Christians who really have no place to go.

Do not allow yourselves to be guilt-tripped, ask the Pope and the Dems how many Christians will they save?
US News and World Report:

Catholic Democrats are invoking the pope’s moral authority as they make the case for the United States to resettle more refugees from Syria and elsewhere.

pope on Lampedusa — In 2013, Pope Francis welcomed the migrants from North Africa on the beaches of Lampedusa thus helping to invite the crisis now overwhelming the European continent. https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/2013/07/09/pope-lectures-on-lampedusa/

The lawmakers are leveraging the pontiff’s upcoming visit to call for the United States to do more amid a growing migration crisis that has overwhelmed the Middle East and Europe. The White House said Sept. 10 it would seek to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees next fiscal year, up from 1,293 this year, while increasing the total number of refugees beyond the current 70,000 per year.

“Many in Washington are looking forward to a visit later this month by Pope Francis, who just this week asked the faithful throughout Europe to shelter refugees fleeing ‘death from war and hunger,'” Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said in a statement on Sept. 9 following congressional briefings by Secretary of State John Kerry as part of his department’s annual review of resettlement needs. “In the United States, we can do the same thing. We can respond, as we have before, with meaningful action that is worthy of a nation of immigrants with by far the largest capacity to act, as the world expects us to. I urge both the administration and leaders in Congress to do just that.”

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who is also Catholic, made a similar appeal on Sept. 10.

Fearing another Boston Bombing, Rep. Peter King says no to 10,000!

Today’s announcement by the White House that the US will admit at least 10,000 Syrian refugees next year will put American lives at risk,” said Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., the chairman of the Counterterrorism and Intelligence panel. “I oppose this decision. We do not want another Boston Marathon bombing.”

Others made no secret of their animus toward Muslims. [You see, this reporter knows that most of the Syrian refugees will be Muslims or this line would not be in the story.—ed]

“If they’re Muslims, why don’t we resettle [them] in the Muslim states?” asked Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, a member of the Judiciary Committee’s immigration and border security panel. “Wouldn’t they be happier? They wouldn’t have to transform a society. They would just fit in like a hand in a glove.”

By the way, get ready for the Leftists and No borders agitators to say that Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan (all Muslim countries) are carrying an unfair burden and taking in the most ‘refugees’ so far. Remember this! They are not taking the Syrians in PERMANENTLY. Most live in camps in those countries and are expected to leave at some point, presumably to go home (or sent to the US!). They will not become citizens of those countries.
The US and Europe are being hounded to take in the refugees permanently, so even if the civil war ended tomorrow those in a pipeline to America would still be permitted to come and to ultimately become US citizens.
Resettlement to the US is NOT temporary and 30 years after bringing the first Somali refugees to America they are still coming—it will never end!
Endnote: Moveon.org is on the bandwagon too, confirming that this is a Far Left Democrat campaign to build their Leftwing base (security concerns be damned!). More on that shortly.

Hungarian Catholic Bishop tells Pope he is wrong, not refugees but invaders!

…they are here (in Europe) to take us over!

Update: I hadn’t seen it earlier, but Leo Hohmann at WND has more on what the good Bishop said, here.
For all of you wondering if there is any hope for the Bishops who run the Catholic Church in America, there may not be, but it is heartening to see some Catholic leader willing to speak up somewhere else in the world.

Bishop Hungary — Thank God for religious leaders like this one: Hungarian Bishop Laszlo Kiss-Rigo. http://budapestbeacon.com/public-policy/bishop-kiss-rigo-the-pope-has-no-idea-what-hes-talking-about/27025

Readers, my guess is that Obama is going to give the Pope a big fat smooch when he arrives in Washington on September 22nd in the form of a promise to “welcome” tens of thousands of Syrian (mostly Muslim) refugees to your towns in the coming year. I doubt he will stick with the 10,000 he mentioned this past week.
Here is one brave Bishop! From the Washington Post earlier this past week:

BUDAPEST — Pope Francis’s message Sunday couldn’t have been clearer: With hundreds of thousands of refugees flowing into Europe, Catholics across the continent had a moral duty to help by opening their churches, monasteries and homes as sanctuaries.

On Monday, the church’s spiritual leader for southern Hungary — scene of some of the heaviest migrant flows anywhere in Europe — had a message just as clear: His Holiness is wrong.

“They’re not refugees. This is an invasion,” said Bishop Laszlo Kiss-Rigo, whose dominion stretches across the southern reaches of this predominantly Catholic nation. “They come here with cries of ‘Allahu Akbar.’ They want to take over.”

For new readers who have not been following the ‘Invasion of Europe’ (Invasion archive is here) as we have for several years, you need to know that Pope Francis actually encouraged the migration by lecturing on Lampedusa in 2013 and inviting the illegal aliens to Italy.
US Bishops want 100,000 (mostly Muslim) Syrians admitted to US in the next year!

Whoop-de-doo! Pope Francis is going to take 2 refugee families to live at the Vatican

09/06/2015 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

The nerve of this man! The Vatican is 109 acres and he himself invited the migrants to Europe in 2013 when he took his pope mobile (it must have been transported at great expense!) to the sandy beach of the Italian island of Lampedusa and admonished the Italian people to be more welcoming while saying mass for the migrants arriving illegally from Libya and other parts of the Muslim world. He helped bring about this crisis!
So now, he is ‘welcoming’ two whole families to set an example for the peons of Europe! I am speechless!
Let’s at least hope he shelters persecuted Christians! Will he choose by lottery? Will they be screened for security? (Do you remember back in April a terror plot was foiled when 18 terrorists posed as ‘refugees’ and planned to attack the Vatican.)
Hey, maybe we can spread a rumor and direct some of the masses of marching migrants to his gates in Rome. It would be a kind of reenactment.

And, will the Pope call on US Bishops to set an example?

See some of the homes of US Bishops, here. How many families will they each invite to live in their mansions?

Pope calls rejection of migrants "an act of war"

08/11/2015 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Invasion of Europe news….

Pope Francis has been chastising Europe for years now for not welcoming the hordes of migrants arriving on European shores and across its eastern borders. There is nothing new here. Apparently he must have gone to Lampedusa again.
I wonder how many migrants have been ‘welcomed’ to live at Vatican City? Does anyone know? Has anyone asked?

Philip-Hammond_3024915b — Meanwhile, British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond is quoted as saying: “marauding” migrants threatened the British “standard of living,” which brought howls of criticism from members of the ‘human rights industrial complex.’

From the UK Independent:

Speaking to a youth group, he said the situation where desperate migrants were bounced from country to country seeking shelter was “an unresolved conflict… and this is war, this is violence, it’s called murder”.

In his speech on the island of Lampedusa in southern Italy the Pope called on European powers to do more to help the migrants that have been arriving on the island, according to the Gazzetta del Sud.Pope Francis has called the rejection of migrants fleeing violence “an act of war”.

No surprise, the Independent goes on to criticize David Cameron quoting the Mayor of Calais calling Cameron a racist and then says this (below). Frankly, at the moment the UK is holding firm and trying to save itself from the invasion that is washing across southern Europe and into Germany and most of the rest of Europe.

Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond caused further controversy on Sunday when he told the BBC he believed “marauding” migrants threatened the British “standard of living”. Amnesty International condemned the remarks saying they were “mean spirited” and “shameful”.
