| Pope Francis: God Has a ‘Particular Concern for Foreigners’ |
| 2019-09-30 |
| [BREITBART] Pope Francis celebrated the World Day of The Lord "upholds the stranger as well as the widow and the orphan among his people," the pope said in his homily at morning Mass in St. Peter’s Square. "The Lord has a particular concern for foreigners, widows and orphans, for they are without rights, excluded and marginalized. This is why God tells the Israelites to give them special care." Citing the biblical book of Exodus, Francis said that the God of Israel is the one who "executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing." "This loving care for the less privileged is presented as a characteristic trait of the God of Israel and is likewise required, as a moral duty, of all those who would belong to his people," he said. Yet this message "is not only about foreigners; it is about all those in existential peripheries who, together with Related: Pope Francis: 2019-09-23 UAE's first official synagogue to open in multi-faith complex in 2022 Pope Francis: 2019-09-01 Pope Francis Stuck in a Lift.

| #16 but dragging the 3rd world nations (that is removing corruption and protectionism and idiot socialist policies) into first world status would help hundreds of times more people than helping refugees and would enrich us all. Yet we treat the talk about the symptom (refugees) and do nothing about the infections themselves. |

| #15 Utter nonsense. You cannot have "special consideration for foreigners", because YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE FOREIGNERS TO THOSE FOREIGNERS. So, then, where is the special consideration owed to your neighbors from those foreigners? Dragging the Third World population into the civilized nations will just result in a global Third World, harming your neighbors and resulting in immeasurable misery and horrors. |

| #13 He's not Catholic, he's lefty. Like all lefties, he preaches the party line, while protecting pedo's and criminals for justice. I suspect there's a special circle of Hell for popes such as this. |

| #9 If nations/tribes are a creation of man, how can there be 'foreigners' in God's domain? (outside the usual inhabitants of the 'other' domain) |

| #8 Time for the Pope to come down on the Islamic governments refusing to accept refugees. |

| #7 And the Vatican has a particular concern for its pedophiles. Why don't you clean up the filth in your own house, padre, before you lecture the rest of us? |

| #3 FYI Francis. In the book of Exodus the Israelites, including Moses, were NOT allowed into the promised land. |

| #1 Yes, that "Tower of Babel" event was a huge endorsement of one world government. The archangel George Soros was right there that day. |
