The World Council of Churches (WCC) has announced a joint venture with the Vatican to co-host a meeting next September on “migration, xenophobia, and politically motivated populism.”
The WCC said it is partnering with the Vatican department for Promoting Integral Human Development in preparing the conference to be held September 17-20 as part of ongoing work toward “peace-building and migration.”
The General of the WCC, Rev. Olav Fykse Tveit, said the meeting would be a “very useful and significant workshop to dig a bit deeper” into the problems of xenophobia as an expression of populism, as well as its links to racism, conflict, and violence in countries around the world.
Last September, the Vatican launched a two-year campaign to change people’s minds about migrants and to encourage a more welcoming attitude toward them worldwide.
“Brothers, we mustn’t be afraid to share the journey! We mustn’t be afraid to share the hope!” Francis said in his weekly General Audience on September 27, in which he inaugurated the new project, titled “Share the Journey.”

This is what happens when Communists take over a religion.
The Church is opposed to nationalism. (except their own, behind their walls) It couldn’t be more clear.
Yes. You might even call them Atheists.
Well the Vatican is technically a sovereign state...
Thanks to Mussolini.
Re: “Share the Journey”—does our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ “ask us to welcome” invader Muhammadams intent on taking over our countries and destroying Christendom “with arms wide open”?
What would Charles Martel say? Or Jan Sobieski? “Just sayin’!”

Hmmm.
To desire the continuity and survival of your culture and your people is NOT xenophobia.
With some migrants / refugees to not oppose them entering is a form of civilizational suicide.
Surely the vatican is taking in their share of destitute immigrants?
Huh? Wasn’t that the agenda at the secretive Bilderberg meeting that the Vatican Secretary of State just attended?
Talk about a Russian asset.
Obviously the most important thing on the pope’s mind.
“The WCC said it is partnering with the Vatican”
Enemies all...
Howmany many Buhdist, Zorastrians, and Muslims live in the Vatican. Not to mention many other diverse religions.
Exactly, it was Parolin’s part of the presentation (1 hr, 45 min). Guess he works fast!
FYI, many left-leaning Cardinals are hoping for Parolin as next Pope.
