Pope Francis warned on Monday against a resurgence of nationalist and populist movements and criticized countries that try to solve the migration crisis with unilateral or isolationist actions.

The pope, speaking to diplomats in an annual speech known informally as his “state of the world” address, suggested such movements and closed-door policies were turning the clock back 100 years to the dangerous period between the world wars.

Relationships within the international community “are experiencing a period of difficulty, with the resurgence of nationalistic tendencies,” he said, making dialogue between countries and hurting the most vulnerable members of society, including migrants.

Hey, Frankie.

The Vatican is surrounded by a wall. Is it for ornamentation?

Pope Francis. Tear down this wall.

I believe Pope Francis is among the people targeted in those massive sealed indictments.

Pope Francis, tear down that Vatican wall!

This pope isn’t going to preach from the book of Nehemiah about walls anytime soon.

Then he should liquidate the vaticans treasure, and give it all to the migrants.

[JesusIsLord]

If the Pope sincerely wants to help all of the world's migrants, he needs to demonstrate his bona fides by selling all RCC treasures, art, antiques, property etc., etc., etc. The net revenue from these sales will be in the hundreds of billions if not trillions. With all that money, Pope Francis and his followers can buy as many private islands as required for migrants. Naturally, Francis and his RCC 'converted' resources will want to provide the migrants with all they need to meet Francis' standard of living. /s

Socialists are only interested in spending other peoples money and when that runs out - you have Venezuela. No thanks Frankie!

Tell the communist ImPopester to shove up it up his cassock.

There is nothing wrong with nationalism, nothing at all. It is fanatacism that is what causes a problem. This Pope should spend more time concerning himself with the work of the Lord and less time dabbling in politics.

The leftist pope, at it again.
