Bishop Criticizes Francis' Political Campaign

Monsignor Luigi Negri, the ex-bishop of Ferrara, Italy, implicitly criticized Pope Francis' campaign in favour of the introduction of birthright citizenship in Italy, "The Church must guide the souls, not decide the law."

Writing on La Verità Neri warns of handing out the citizenship in an automatic, mechanical way without assessing, among other things, the tradition of Christian Europe.

A report about the article in Il Giornale generated 61 comments of which 60 are very critical of Pope Francis.
