[Alberta's Child]

When you go through the pope's public statements during this visit to the U.S. and understand them in context with each other, you end up with a worldview that seems to be completely incoherent. On the one hand he has publicly criticized the developed nations of the world (primarily the U.S.) for any number of things, including our role in climate change, our secularism, our fixation of money and material things, our wanton disregard for the value of human life, etc.

Then he insists that we should be open to a massive flood of new immigrants. Why would he ever encourage people to migrate to a place like this?

More importantly ... Isn't there something wrong with a Catholic leader from a Latin American country encouraging people from historically Catholic countries in Latin America to migrate to a radically secular nation like ours?

“Isn’t there something wrong with a Catholic leader from a Latin American country encouraging people from historically Catholic countries in Latin America to migrate to a radically secular nation like ours?”

What is many of those Latin American countries are also becoming “radically secular”? And they are by the way. Take Pope Francis’ native country - Argentina. Watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOCD_T9Qqpc. It happens EVERY YEAR.
