Stemming from Muslim countries, with Muslim faiths, today’s migrants, according to Pope Francis, are just like Joseph and Mary, prior to the birth of Christ.
Pope Francis ushered in Christmas by, once again, twisting scripture to fit the narrative of universalism. The Catholic Church, apparently, has long forgotten what the Bible actually says while continuing to sway hundreds of thousands of people away from the true Christ.
“So many other footsteps are hidden in the footsteps of Joseph and Mary. We see the tracks of entire families forced to set out in our own day,” Francis said in St. Peter’s Basilica during his midnight Mass on December 24-25.
Roughly 10,000 people attended the pope’s Mass in the Basilica while thousands more followed the service from the square outside.
Vatican City (AFP) – Pope Francis in his traditional Christmas address on Monday gave his traditional “Urbi et Orbi” Christmas address, after urging the world’s 1.3 billion Catholics not to ignore the plight of migrants “driven from their land” because of leaders willing to shed “innocent blood”…
“So many other footsteps are hidden in the footsteps of Joseph and Mary,” the Argentine pontiff, himself the grandson of Italian migrants, told worshippers at Christmas Eve mass in Saint Peter’s Basilica…
“We see the tracks of millions of persons who do not choose to go away but, driven from their land, leave behind their dear ones.”
Many engulfed in the ongoing migration crisis were forced to flee from leaders “who, to impose their power and increase their wealth, see no problem in shedding innocent blood”, said the 81-year-old….— Yahoo (article has been updated since publication.)
While many fleeing countries of war are indeed in desperate situations, to liken them to Joseph and Mary, the carnal parents of Jesus Christ the Savior of Mankind, is outrageous. The Pope has for the last several years attempted to change the outright nature of Christianity through jabs at Jesus’ divinity, likening Christians to communists, and so much more.
However, most recently, the Pope had the audacity to claim that he wanted to change the Lord’s Prayer.
Muslim emigrants (not migrants) may be fleeing their countries, but there is no comparison to Mary & Joseph. Mary and Joseph stayed in-country and were not trying to escape an oppressive regime. They were actually following the Roman dictate to return to Joseph’s town of family origin to be counted for the Roman census and then taxed accordingly. Once there in Bethlehem, and after an apparent holiday that filled all the rooms with visitors, the Holy Family found housing and seem to have stayed there for up to two years, according to Luke’s Gospel account. The Magi arrived in Bethlehem and found not a babe in a manger, but a young child in the house. They eventually fled to Egypt, but returned to Israel, making their home in Nazareth.
As reported by many, the Vatican, and in particular this current Pope, has gone off the rails by abandoning the scriptures and adopting a social gospel built on heresies.
Pope Francis is an idiot. He is allowing tens of thousands of Catholics to die every year at the hand of muslims yet he continues to bury his add up their rectum in a defeatist blind outlook. Just someone eradicate him soon.
