But the pope had made clear since his first trip as pontiff outside the Vatican — praying at the Sicilian island of Lampedusa for migrants who died trying to cross the sea to reach Italy — that generosity toward immigrants was one of his top concerns. “I think we’re looking at the impact of the Francis era, where there are different points of contact and different aspects of the Catholic tradition are emphasized,” said Mathew Schmalz, a religious studies professor at the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts. “Many prominent Catholic intellectuals have been swayed toward the Republicans in the last few decades. This is a jolt.” Francis’ immediate predecessors, Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI, also emphasized care for the poor and immigrants. But they prioritized greater adherence to doctrine, including on abortion, and appointed bishops who would do the same.Note the demonic logic-switch. "Care for the poor" is equated with "care for immigrants". those are precise opposites. Immigrants make the rich immensely richer. Immigrants kill the poor, both indirectly through starvation wages and directly through gang warfare, rapes and murders. Immigration is EXACTLY AND PRECISELY A GENOCIDE COMMITTED AGAINST THE POOR. Self-defense of all types is Thanks, Satan Bezos, for providing a handy dandy User's Guide to Genocide.
