In an interview last week, Cardinal Robert Sarah, prefect of the Vatican's Congregation of Divine Worship, condemned the present pontifical push for migration into Europe, saying that the Catholic Church should not support "this new form of slavery that is mass migration." He said, "God never intended these fractures."
The cardinal was indirectly rebutting Pope Francis' political activism in telling Christian nations that they should open their borders to Islamic "refugees" and be more "welcoming." Sarah said that using the Bible to promote migration constitutes a "false exegesis," and said it is better "to help people flourish in their culture than to encourage them to come to Europe."
