This one is insufferable.

Pope Leo XIV urges Europe to act on migration crisis

Symbolic July 4 visit: The U.S.-born Pope spent Independence Day in Lampedusa, honouring migrants who died at sea and highlighting the island’s role in Europe’s migration crisis.
Call for action: He urged Europe to create long-term migration strategies that balance immediate relief with development in origin countries to prevent forced migration.
Message to Americans: In a letter, he reminded the U.S. that welcoming immigrants is part of its history and a recognition of every person’s dignity.
Update:

Society of St. Pius X’s Priest Stands Defiant Against Leo XIV’s Excommunication: ‘A Future Pope Will Welcome Us Back’
Popes come and go.
We have reported on how leftist Pope Leo XIV – through his Holy Office head, the highly controversial Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández – a Pope Francis holdover – has excommunicated the members of the conservative Society of St. Pius X.
They were declared schismatic after four bishops were ordained without Pope Leo’s approval.
But if anyone thought that they’d bow their heads and submit, think again. Reuters calls them unrepentant, we call them defiant.
Reuters reported:
“A priest from a Catholic splinter sect that was excommunicated earlier this week told worshippers on Sunday that the breakaway group would be welcomed back to the Church under a different pope.
[…] ‘There will one day be another pope who opens the door and welcomes us back. Just like Pope Benedict’, Georg Kopf said at a mass held in the north-eastern Swiss town of Wil.”




What is this ignorance? There were Popes in the late 14th, 15th and 16th amd 18th centuries that saw islam as the enemy. The muslims briefly conquered the Vatican briefly; did these Popes forget about that? The fall of Constantinople was crowned with broad slaughter of Christians, ‘the streets ran red with the blood’. Is it all a ‘never mind’ history to this Pope? I just don’t get it.
