Leo XIV Praises Flooding the West with Migrants: “Messengers of Hope”

"In a world darkened by war and injustice, even when all seems lost, migrants and refugees are messengers of hope.” Pope Leo XIV wrote this in his message for the upcoming World Day of Migrants and Refugees, published on 25 July.

He added: "Their courage and tenacity bear heroic testimony to a faith that sees beyond what our eyes can see, giving them the strength to defy death on the various contemporary migration routes."

They can initiate "interreligious dialogue based on everyday life and the search for common values".

Flashback: At the same event in 2001, John Paul II acknowledged that uncontrolled migration "may cause harm and be detrimental to the common good of the receiving community".

The highest law of the Church is the salvation of souls but these days you would never guess that.

Somebody needs to get Leo to stay in Muslim occupied areas of France or England.

The last thing needed is inter-religious dialog! What the world needs now is faithful Catholics, in thought, word, and deed - and authentic worship of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - through the Mass of the Ages. All other ground is sinking sand! What the Catholic Church needs is Popes and Bishops who will preach, teach, and live the Catholic and Apostolic Faith in all its fullness.

"All other ground is sinking sand..." From the old Protestant hymn "My Hope is Built on Nothing Less." I heard Cal Thomas sing that at a Right-to-Life dinner ages ago. Protestants get a few things correct, and there are some I pray for every day.
