Europe
Pope Francis Refers To `Arab Invasion' as a Social Reality
2016-03-05
[BLOOMBERG] Pope Francis referred to an "Arab invasion" during a speech to a French Christian group this week, adding that Europe has been enhanced by previous influxes of people.

The pontiff also noted that Europe has seen many invasions over the course of its history, according to excerpts of the comments posted on the website of the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano.

Europe has been facing huge waves of migrants colonists and asylum seekers, many of them from Syria and Iraq. While the seemingly endless streams of people have led to tension among the 28 nations of the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
, some politicians have said the newcomers should be seen as a new resource.

"Today we can talk about an Arab invasion," the Roman Catholic leader said in the comments dated Thursday. "It is a social fact."

L’Osservatore Romano reported the pope hastened to add Europe has always been able to "go forward and find itself enhanced by the exchange among cultures," after saying that Europe is the "only continent that can bring about a certain unity to the world."

The number of Syrians seeking asylum doubled to 362,800 last year and the number of Iraqis jumped to 121,500, the European Commission said Friday.

#8  Pope Francis has taken a vow of poverty for everyone.

I used to think he really believed that welcoming these invaders with open arms would convert them to his way of thinking but I noticed his wall around the Vatican has not come down.

#7  Vlad was near ground zero for one of the major implosions and figured out it was a bunch of crock, thus moving back to historical basics like nationalism.
