Speaking on Sunday in southern Italy at the Catholic Church’s 27th National Eucharistic Congress, open-borders fanatic Pope Francis addressed the decline of the Italian population by urging Italians to have more children — but also to open the country’s doors to more migrants, pleading that they be “welcomed, accompanied, promoted and integrated.”
The Pope has previously encouraged open borders in many public statements. This time he was speaking ahead of the eagerly-watched election that brought Italy its first right-populist coalition of anti-mass migration, Euro-skeptic parties since World War II.
“I’d like to ask Italy: more births, more children,” he said, acknowledging that Italy has one of the lowest birth rates in the world, promising a “demographic winter.”
