Pope Francis: South American Migrants Are the ‘Suffering Flesh of Christ
Breitbart ^ | 03/21/2024 | THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.

ROME — Pope Francis wrote a letter to a group of mostly South American migrants Thursday, calling them “the suffering flesh of Christ.”

The pontiff told the 3,000 migrants gathered at Lajas Blancas in Panama en route to the United States that he would like to be there with them personally but instead was represented by a group of bishops from Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia as well as Catholic pastoral workers.

The migrants arrive in Lajas Blancas after crossing the Darien Gap, a dense tropical forest covering over 1,400,000 acres along the border between Panama and Colombia and one of the most dangerous migrant routes in the Americas.

Americans have turned their backs on God. This is what you get. Either repent and turn back to God or it will get worse, far worse.

Read Deuteronomy 28:43-45.

The Pope wants everyone’s income to go into one big pot for the benefit of communist voters and hood dwellers, most of whom are their own worst enemies. Nobody keeps what he’s earned or benefited from diligent parents.

They are not the same and there is no moral equivalency between them.

While both the suffering flesh of Christ and the hardships faced by migrants involve suffering, they are not the same in nature or purpose. The suffering flesh of Christ is a unique and singular event in history, representing the sacrificial act of Jesus for the redemption of humanity. On the other hand, the statement about migrant hardships highlights the challenges and struggles faced by individuals who are forced to leave their homes due to various circumstances.

While it is important to show compassion and empathy towards our migrant brothers and sisters, it would not be accurate or appropriate to consider their suffering as morally equivalent to the suffering flesh of Christ. The suffering of Christ carries profound theological significance and is central to the Christian faith, while the hardships faced by migrants are a result of complex social, political, and economic factors.

Papa Frank pushes onto the rest of the world the socialist hellhole life that he brags about escaping from in Argentina.

If the current Argentina president gets his way, people will be wanting to migrate TO Argentina.

“If the current Argentina president gets his way, people will be wanting to migrate TO Argentina.”

I think Donald Trump should formally apply for Argentine asylum.

“… the suffering flesh of Christ.”

Is Pope Frannie proposing to turn them into Eucharist wafers? Soylent brown?

Where’s my coffee?

“The migrants arrive in Lajas Blancas after crossing the Darien Gap, a dense tropical forest covering over 1,400,000 acres along the border between Panama and Colombia and one of the most dangerous migrant routes in the Americas.”

The Vatican could charter jets from Columbia to Nicaragua and pay for those flights by selling artwork.

I don't have a problem with money and other kinds of aid being sent to Central and South America....assuming it isn't stolen by crooked politicians and their rich friends.

But I don't want illegals living here! Not white ones...black ones...brown ones...young ones...old ones...male ones...female ones.

It's just that simple.

We are these people still being called migrants? Migrant implies they are a. only temporarily leaving their country and b. doing so by and for legal reasons such as using work visas for short term work. Migrants go back home.

Pope Francis: South American Migrants Are the ‘Suffering Flesh of Christ

And how did they get there in the first place? Respectfully I would say he is full of it up to his eyeballs. Revolution after revolution and corruption, never get their act together.

Boo Hoo. With a limited number of exceptions, the illegal migrants are shitty people coming from shitty places to benefit from America's misplaced uncategorical generosity to all comers.

Oh, you say, Venezuela (among others) does not want the migrants back? And, really, they are good people? Then conduct a vote among them as to whether or not Venezuela (or any other country) should be invaded and their ruling gang of thugs killed or jailed. Then if the vote is yes, do just that and install the migrants into power. If not, then find a suitable place outside the US to resettle the migrants.

My surmise is that such a threat will need to be carried out only once.

This immigration is a consequence of having made wrong political decisions, they applauded like seals to those who sold them earthly paradise and now follow the direction of the substitute of their dreams of eternal and free happiness

Suffering? They’re barging in to our country, demanding free stuff, overwhelming our resources and committing atrocious crimes. Let Vatican City take them in.
