"It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee"


"It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help... If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."

- Pope Francis

No matter the Church they chose to follow, the original son of their deity sided with the poor who seeks help, not with the rich who persecutes the poor.
