Pope Francis referred once more to a repeating topic:-
In addition, Pope Francis referred once more to a repeating topic of his pontificate by mentioning the work of Scalabrini, an Italian bishop who formed a community that assists immigrants and refugees in the 19th century.
“It’s outrageous that migrants are being excluded! Migrant exclusion is criminal because it causes them to perish in front of us, “added the Pontiff.
“As a result, the Mediterranean, the world’s largest cemetery, exists today. The exclusion of refugees is repugnant, wicked, and illegal.”
In his words, we “exclude them, we send them away, to the concentration camps where they are exploited and sold as slaves,” instead of opening the doors to immigration.
The International Organization for Migration of the UN estimates that almost 25,000 migrants have either drowned or disappeared since 2014 while trying to cross the Mediterranean to reach Europe each year.
