VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis has encouraged Europeans to welcome refugees, calling authentic hospitality "our greatest security against hateful acts of terrorism."

Francis Saturday spoke to alumni of Jesuit schools in Europe who were in Rome for a conference on refugees.

The pope said: "I encourage you to welcome refugees into your homes and communities, so that their first experience of Europe is not the traumatic experience of sleeping cold on the streets, but one of warm welcome."

Pope, YOU GO FIRST, and I say that as a Catholic.

How did their authentic hospitality toward national socialism work out for the Jews last time around?

Does he really keep saying these stupid things, or are soap opera writers inventing things the press can claim the Pope said?

Maybe he’s only meet the ones who knew why to escape the theocracies.

Compromising with the devil keeps you from God...

Compromise is cowardice, fear, lack of faith, unbelieving..

Good grief.

Spreading confusion and lies is so unCatholic. Who is this “pope” and who does he represent? Certainly not God (Truth).

Whoa-—Thomism has completely been ejected out of the Church, now. How can that be when that is the foundation of the Catholic Canon?

We live in very confused, dangerous times when Truth is being erased and banned and demeaned and mocked. Evil is Good and Slavery is Freedom.

That’s like saying having sex with any man who wants it helps keep a woman safe from rape.
