Forget Biden debating Trump. He should debate Pope Francis. Both are elderly men with the habit of saying completely insane things that undermine whatever point they’re trying to make.
The Catholic leader said in a “60 Minutes” interview with Norah O’Donnell that American leaders should instead embrace forgiveness toward migrants entering the country.
“That is madness. Sheer madness,” Francis said. “To close the border and leave them there, that is madness.”
“The migrant has to be received,” he continued, advocating against GOP efforts to close the southern border. “Thereafter, you see how you are going to deal with him. Maybe you have to send him back, I don’t know, but each case ought to be considered humanely.”
“Migration is something that makes a country grow,” he said. “They say that you Irish migrated and brought the whiskey, and that the Italians migrated and brought the mafia. Migrants sometimes suffer a lot. They suffer a lot.”
I’m just as happy he didn’t get around to whatever stereotypical image he had of Jewish and Polish immigrants even while painting the Irish as drunks and Italians as the mob. Two groups that formed the base of the American Catholic community. And the groups he would want to win over with his argument.
Pope Francis doesn’t seem to understand the difference between legal immigration and mass illegal invasion, but to be fair he’s been living in Europe where the difference hasn’t existed for a decade. It’s like trying to explain to a California socialist why shoplifting is wrong. The concept doesn’t even exist anymore. Having a million Muslims just show up in your country is how immigration in Europe now works. Wir schaffen das!
There are all sorts of arguments to be made in favor of immigration or even migration, but I have to say that even after hearing a decade’s worth of bad arguments, this one takes the case. “Migration is something that makes a country grow. They say that you Irish migrated and brought the whiskey, and that the Italians migrated and brought the mafia. Migrants sometimes suffer a lot. They suffer a lot.”
This is Borat-level stuff. It’s almost like the entire Pope Francis routine is one big troll by a secret right-winger who’s parodying the mindless condescension of the leftist clergy.
SPURWING PLOVER says
And the Pope should stick to the King James Bible and the 10 Commandments
Veronica says
KJV? Why on earth would he stick to a translation that removed so much from what was given to us by St Jerome and the Latin vulgate? Lol
John Patrick Falvey says
The King James version is censored, that is abridged, by the lunatic Luther. It’s missing seven books which the Catholic Bible has including the Book of Tobit, where the Archangel Raphael appears. Also, ironically missing The Book of Wisdom.
Jeff Bargholz says
The Catholic Bible is the book of derp.
Jerry Pasternak says
No the Bible is not the problem, this pope is.
Mike says
The Catholic Bible has 7 books that were added several hundred years after Jesus’ death. They are like the koran…bunch of garbage.
Beez says
The Roman priests never read it with or without those 7 books. Certainly, Leo X never did.
Perspective says
Why on Earth would you use a translation through Latin, which is so far removed from what was given to us by the Apostles in Greek and Hebrew? Latin is a rigid language with different assumptions and less nuance.
Just use an Interlinear Bible. It’s not hard.
Beez says
That’s exactly what Luther said.
Frank b says
A goofy response not gonna spend a time explaining why just like Daniel said, trying to explain shoplifting to a California socialist.
Moe Wigsoe says
He doesn’t know them. But the false Pope should let them into the vatican. Tear down the 8m wall.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Looks like he escaped from the looney bin. No concept of practical difficulties.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah he lives in a protected city state. Talk about a sheltered mentality. I notice he doesn’t allow “migrants” to squat there, though.
BLSinSC says
SO true! With the Vatican’s VAST WEALTH they should be providing for these “migrants” in THEIR HOME NATIONS so their lives would be better THERE!! And why should the USA accept people who come here ILLEGALLY? Reckon we could just hop on a plane, waltz into the Vatican, and demand a nice home and lifetime support? Doubt it, but the “pope” expects the GOOD US TAXPAYERS to provide for MILLIONS? When has the “pope” insisted on housing the HOMELESS VETERANS and HOMELESS US CITIZENS? It’s sickening, but he’s the “pope” – hopefully not for much longer!
Algorithmic Analyst says
And with Swiss Guards. Apparently the Swiss were considered the toughest fighters, during the Age of the Pike (which came just before the Age of the Musket)
Chaya says
I didnt down vote you. This system is just nuts.
Jeff Bargholz says
Oh, well thanks. I can’t even see who up votes or down votes with this system. 🙂
Donyaldo says
Well at least we know that bears still defecate in the woods.
Pat Riot says
…..says the guy that lives in the Vatican and has miles of historical records locked up. stfu you evil globalist hypocrite.
VotingDoesn'tMatterAnymore says
Dear “Pope,” tear down that 40ft high wall surrounding your precious Vatican City, fill your streets and buildings, including your apartments, St Peter’s and the Sistine Chaple, with illegal immigrants, and then open your blasphemous mouth.
Until then, shut your pie hole. You are as grounded in the teachings of Christ as was Charles Manson, Jeff Dahmer, and Ted Bundy.
Domenic Pepe says
Pope Francis is nearly as much of a depraved psychopathic berserk moron as an Islamic swine.
Hendrix says
Since we are going to generalize, the South Americans are drug cartels, child smugglers/rapists and un-educated.
Viti says
You are destroying the faithful by not being faithful yourself. Disappointing at the very least..
Steven Kardas says
Francis is a weirdo.
Beez says
Our first clue was his meeting with BO.
IBoat says
What a SCUMBALL, My Wife and I left OUR church because they and helping ILLEGAL INVADERS get into OUR County!!!!!!! They don’t and will NOT receive ONE PENNY From US!!!!!!!!
Domenic Pepe says
Catholic Charities is making big money from the government/US Taxpayers
to bring in the millions of illegal aliens.
Shut down the border and deport all illegal aliens and anchor babies.
John C says
“It’s like trying to explain to a California socialist why shoplifting is wrong.” That is exactly what it is like since, Jorge Bergoglio is a communist pretending to be a Christian.
War for the West says
It is absurd and insulting. As a Catholic the only consolation I can take is that there have been many bad Popes, but the RC and most importantly, our precious Catechism survives. Nothing in my church requires me to morally support open borders, or support the destruction of the U.S. national character by importing non-Western peoples who don’t assimilate in large numbers. Nothing. I am commanded to help the poor and vulnerable in every way I can, and to render unto Caesar as well. I am not hectored to disobey the laws of my nation nor to violate the actions it takes to defend and preserve it. If my Catholicism directs me to help poor Hatians or Syrians or Chinese or Guatemalans, I’m free to send money, volunteer here or there to help in many ways. You see Christian missionaries and other charities operating in this way all the time.
ONLYME says
That idiot is as senile as Joe Biden .
RanboSouth says
The pope needs to build an 80 story skyscraper in the Vatican and fill it with a diversity of refugees as proof of his mindless vision. Let’s see how well that would work out.
Jeff Bargholz says
Pope Commie is still alive? Those Vatican doctors must be better than morticians to embalm him enough to appear in public and fart out of his mouth.
And “60 Minutes” is still a thing? I thought that crap went out with black and white TV,
Martina Vaslovik says
So he wants our country destroyed as all commies do.
D3F1ANT says
It amuses me to no end that this “Pope” refuses to stay in his lane! LOL! Then again, he doesn’t seem to be as aware of the tenets of Catholicism as he is aware of the tenets of Marxism…Climate-ism…or “Queer Lifestyle-sim”. I think he’s happy to preach within his comfort zone…
W. Layer says
Note to Pope Francis: Americans were making whiskey long before the Irish arrived, and there was crime long before Italians invented meatballs. Jesuits are supposed to be highly intelligent and highly educated. The Jebbies must have adopted DEI long before we heard of it because as it being forecast, it lowers intelligence.
Jeff Bargholz says
You have to admit though, the stereotypes of Micks as drunkards and wops as Mafiosa is pretty funny. Pope Commie really is clueless.
Beez says
Bergoglio is an Italian name. Just sayin’.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes! What a clueless retard.
Chief Mac says
That asshat is racist moron
Max Conrad says
While the Catholic Church still bends over backwards to protect pedophile priests.
Miranda Rose Smith says
I go back to when it was Archie Bunker who stereotyped the Irish as drunks and the Italians as belonging to the Mafia.
TruthLaser says
Archie Bunker was a stereotype created by Norman Lear to ridicule ordinary people who were not liberals.
Jeff Bargholz says
The character was created too well though, because ordinary people loved him.
Miranda Rose Smith says
“All in the Family” was 50 years ago, in America. A week or so sgo, I was walkimg past a dog run, in an Israeli park
I heard somebody calling his dog ‘:Archie” and somebody elde sayimg “Archie Bunker.”

Fee says
Catholic Charities fund the logistics that facilitate the travel of migrants, the lawyers who tell them to dump all forms if ID and tell the US border guards that they are fleeing prosecution even if they are not in order to gain entry into the US with false claims. The Catholic charities fund all this along Jewish charities and Mainline Protestant denominations. Just stop attending these churches, make donations and contributions because it is funding this madness.
Beez says
So does Lutheran charities.
Tom MacGyver says
““They say that you Irish migrated and brought the whiskey, and that the Italians migrated and brought the mafia.”
…And you’re bringing GLOBALISM, Francis!
This is an easy one, folks. All Catholics should REFUSE ANY TITHE and REFUSE to drop ANYTHING into the collection plate! “Pope” Francis has minced no words in his disdain for America. If he doesn’t like us, FINE. Let’s see how he does in the rest of the world WITHOUT AMERICAN MONEY!!!
Alex says
I’m sorry Frankie….LEGAL immigration is always welcomed and encouraged.
Illegals and the violence and crime they bring is not.
Further, the Pontiff should stay in hs own lane…religion is one thing. Politics and the way AMERICA enforces the laws is not YOUR business.
Funny says
I have a suggestion for the United States. If America were to provide transportation for the migrants to fly to the Vatican, would Pope Francis be willing to take in say 1,000 migrants for the Vatican to provide housing, food, and employment. I mean the Vatican itself. The reason I’m mentioning this is because a few years ago when Pope Francis was visiting an island with ten of thousands of migrants overwhelming that Island, he took a few of them aboard his Jet and when he landed in Rome, he turned them over to the Italian government to take care of them. The Pope did not bring them to the Vatican.
So the Pope is someone to not take seriously when it comes to illegal aliens’ problems. Every illegal alien is not being honest as to why they are coming. It is not because of persecution, it is because Americans are suckers to be taken advantage of in every way possible.
Beez says
They’re economic migrants. As far back as 2004, Democrats were scheming to flood the US with economic migrants. They needed the votes; unions needed the new members. In 2009, BO opened the floodgate to our middle east enemies – the same ones who perpetrated 9-11, only seven years prior, and soon thereafter, he revived the racial strife and wealth envy of the 1960’s.
If BO goes to Jerusalem anytime soon, we’ll know his true identity.
Hans Gruber says
How many migrants is Pope Francis taking in at Vatican City?
Funny says
Probably zero. You have to realize that it has cost millions of dollars to settle all those lawsuits of the past. There is no money for migrants.
RAM says
He’s just another head of state sent in by the communists.
