Bloody fucking useless piece of gilded trash, just like the rest of them.
(Unless you need to cover up the rape of a child, of course.)
When the last two Popes have been more progressive than trending world leaders, theres a problem.
So when will he be visiting the concentration camp in El Salvador?
During Sunday mass in St Peter’s Square, the pope asked that God ‘open borders, break down walls [and] dispel hatred’
Borders do serve a purpose, though. Should Ukraine open their borders to Russians? There are legitimate reasons for wanting to keep other people out.
That is a valid point…if you think refugees are an organized army attacking you…are they?
I think you didn’t get what he said because you have no clue what nationalistic political movements are. It’s not about borders. You can have and enforce borders and still be inclusive.
The Pope is entirely true on this. We are replaying the early last century mistakes if we don’t care about it.
Well, the quote I was responding to used the words “open borders” specifically. I may not understand the meaning of the term, as it is being used here, but hopefully you can understand my confusion. I didn’t realize that “open borders” meant “you can have and enforce borders.” I proceeded on the assumption that those two states exist in opposition to one another.
I don’t know for sure but I suspect he means “open borders” in the context of welcoming/helping refugees and not treating immigrants with such xenophobia
Should Ukraine open their borders to Russians?
If they’ll accept Ukrainian law and, you know, not attempt to take over the country, yes why not? Open borders don’t contradict self-defense.
If they’ll accept Ukrainian law and, you know, not attempt to take over the country, yes why not?
And if the Russians don’t accept those terms? Or, say that they accept them to gain entry only to then carry out a campaign of slow annexation?
Then they’re dealt with in the same way anyone else would be if they tried to do that; I’m not sure what your point is. Border “security” against individual crossing and national defense against an enemy state are two completely different things.
Excuse you, that’s Pope Bob.
