Monsignor Luigi Negri, the ex-bishop of Ferrara, Italy, implicitly criticized Pope Francis' campaign in favour of the introduction of birthright citizenship in Italy, "The Church must guide the souls, not decide the law."
Writing on La Verità Neri warns of handing out the citizenship in an automatic, mechanical way without assessing, among other things, the tradition of Christian Europe.
A report about the article in Il Giornale generated 61 comments of which 60 are very critical of Pope Francis.
In his General Audience on September 27, Pope Francis intensified his left-wing political campaign in favor of mass immigration. He called for a reaching out with open arms to what he called "migrants and refugees". Using the Gospel for political aims he claimed that Christ calls to welcome illegal immigrants "with arms wide open, ready to give a sincere, affectionate, enveloping embrace”.
Mass immigration is an attempt of the Western countries to fill in their population gap which was produced by their abortion- and anti-family policies. It amounts to a robbery of the young, mainly male, population of many poor countries which are pushed deeper into poverty.
