Pope Francis on Saturday said he wept hearing the plight first-hand of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, adding that this meeting was a condition set for his trip to Myanmar and Bangladesh.
The Rohingya meeting was a highly symbolic gesture of solidarity with the Muslim minority fleeing violence in Myanmar, and the pontiff told journalists on his plane flying back to Rome that the refugees cried as well.
I knew that I was going to meet the Rohingyas, but I did not know where and how; for me, it was one of the conditions of the trip, he said.
The usually forthright pontiff walked a diplomatic tightrope during his four days in Myanmar the first papal visit to the country avoiding any direct reference to the Rohingya in public while appealing to Buddhist leaders to overcome prejudice and hatred. [ ]
The pope told the Rohingya: In the name of all those who have persecuted you, who have harmed you, in the face of the worlds indifference, I ask for your forgiveness.
The pope referred to the refugees as Rohingya, using the term for the first time on the tour in Bangladesh after the archbishop of Yangon advised him that doing so in Myanmar could inflame tensions and endanger Christians.

It’ll take being more depraved than that, if he is.
The ImPopester weeps for muslims.
Christians, not so much.....
I’m sure the Muslims appreciated this simple-minded infidel’s concern - NOT!!!
Francis has an unfortunate affinity for the death cult.
I would weep too...with laughter at the brazenness of their lies. They are illegal alien invaders and terrorists, NOT “refugees.”
Yes. they are the Asian Palestinians. Just as fraudulent and just as violent.
So the clown with the funny hat takes the side of invader muslims again. And I wonder why I have no faith in the Catholic Church anymore. An anti west, socialist/marxist, muslim appeaser in charge, what can possibly go wrong?
Last I hear from slime-lipped creep Francis, he was verbalizing his rape fantasies, talking about how “virile” young Muslims invaders would “fertilize” an aging Lady Europe.
This guy should just convert to the ROP.
Pope ... Wept
Well how many did the Vatican take in then ?
Rubbing onion juice in your eyes can produce the same results or as Glenn Beck did with Vicks vapor rub does the same effect.
I love Catholics but this Poop er Pope is leading his flock astray. Beware of false prophets.
All these muslim ‘war refugees’ either fleeing violence they instigated or from countries where there is no war.
This is why western minority countries can’t have nice things. Thanks for that ‘papa’!
I don’t think there is any doubt.
This pope is an a$$hole.
How can you tell when someone is evil? Simple, they care more about people who are not their own than they do about own. It’s a basic test of loyalty for a group. This Pope is an antichrist.
>Correct me if Im wrong, but didnt the Rohingyas attack the Buddhist monks, then when the monks fought back the Rohingyas became the victims?
They slaughtered entire villages and took the young girls as sex slaves. This went on for 10 or so years before the Buddhist started fighting back. The western media of course never covered it.
Nope
The worship Satan or die cult shouldn’t be welcome anywhere on earth. Yes, it is sad people are raised in this evil Islam. But Bangladesh should be celebrating their riddance of the demonic cult. The Pope is sad for the people’s plight...it is sad, because they are human beings. Sad too is the fact that those human beings view the Pope and all other non-Muslim people as subhuman.
