Vatican Seeks to ‘Change the Narrative’ on Immigration by Emphasizing the Positive

29

The Vatican is intent on making sure that Europe is flooded with Muslim migrants. Yet when they get their wish, there will be more jihad violence, more rape, more crime in general. Christians will be attacked, as well as Jews and others. Yet the Vatican remains adamant that anyone who opposes the inundation of the continent with Muslim migrants is a racist, bigoted “islamophobe.” Does Michael Czerny think he will be spared? Does Pope Francis? They’re in for a surprise. After all, ISIS has already boasted repeatedly that it will storm the Vatican and behead the Pope. The Muslim migrant influx is bringing in, among the peaceful migrants, the troops to make that a reality.

“Vatican Seeks to ‘Change the Narrative’ on Immigration by Emphasizing the Positive,” by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, March 11, 2018:

The Vatican is looking to change people’s perspective on mass migration by highlighting positive stories to replace the negative accounts that dominate the media.

Jesuit Father Michael Czerny, the co-secretary of the Vatican’s department for migrants and refugees, said that the Church needs to “change the narrative” on immigration, because “the public view is negative” in an address to members of the International Catholic Migration Commission on March 7.

“We need positive stories,” Czerny said, in order to help people appreciate the benefits of migration instead of always focusing on its problems.

As Breitbart News has reported, “Migrant” was the most commonly used word in Italian newspaper headlines during the year 2017, and most of the stories dealt with the arrivals of thousands of migrants into Italy from North Africa, migrant violence and crimes, and political debates regarding how to address Italy’s migrant crisis.

The pro-immigration, George Soros-funded lobby group Carta di Roma lamented that the word “migrant” appeared 2,455 times in headlines, stoking people’s fears of immigration when they should be embracing it. The group also inadvertently noted that the crime rate has fallen off significantly as the number of immigrant arrivals has dropped.

The group has been working to purge journalistic language of all references to migrants that could carry a negative connotation, including such terms as “illegal immigrants.”

In 2017, the Carta di Roma proposed a list of taboo terms related to immigration that should be eliminated from news reporting, including expressions that underscore the ethnicity of certain migrant groups or their illegal status. Terms like “clandestini” (clandestine migrants), “zingari” (gypsies), “nomadi” (nomads), “extracomunitari” (those coming from outside the European Union) and others like them are marked for expurgation.

Even precise terms such as “Albanian,” “Maghrebi” and “Chinese” should be excluded from news reports, the association contends, because today, such terms “are no longer neutral.” The group also insists that the ethnic origin of perpetrators of crimes should not be mentioned in news stories so as not to create an association of malfeasance with migrants.

“Islamic extremists” should simply be referred to as “extremists,” their guide declares, to avoid stirring up prejudice against Muslims.

Speaking with the Catholic News Agency this week, Father Czerny said that there is a natural tendency to “scapegoat” migrants and people who are different from us, especially when we are suffering political, social and economic unrest.

The prevalent negative narrative on the migration issue has nothing to do with migrants and refugees, who have “enormously enriched” modern societies, Czerny contends, but reflects “a misplaced disappointment with our leaders.”

Migrants and refugees “are being scapegoated,” he said. “So, I think by telling the truth and by telling positive stories, that’s how I hope we can reverse that narrative.”…

They don’t work. They don’t assimilate. They commit violent crimes, especially against women, girls, and Jews.
I am utterly clueless as to what “Positive” this Pope is seeing here.

The disgusting thing is that the Vatican and obscenely rich individuals like Soros would in reality not allow a “migrant” within 100 miles of their own upmarket, exclusive areas but are more than happy to dump them on the rest of us. Despicable.

I remember hearing about some vague prophecy that says that either this Pope or the next would be the last Bishop of Rome, and I always wondered what would be able to end such a powerful establishment.

I never suspected it would be by suicide.

The heresy and apostasy that emanate from rome is too much to even consider. There is no reason for a decent thinking Catholic to follow the grunts and utterances of a sold out clergy who have no familiarity with either the Bible of the qur’an. What rome is spewing is not Christianity, it is the lies of islam.

Matthew 7:15-20New King James Version (NKJV)

You Will Know Them by Their Fruits

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.Galatians 1:6-9 ESV /

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.

34But David said to Saul, “Your servant was tending his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and took a lamb from the flock, 35I went out after him and attacked him, and rescued it from his mouth; and when he rose up against me, I seized him by his beard and struck him and killed him. 36“Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, since he has taunted the armies of the living God.”

Matthew 7:15-20New King James Version (NKJV)

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits.

John 8:44 New International Version

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Now here are some excerpts from the qur’an describing their demon:
The root word (makr) means “deception.” Hence, the following Qur’an verses should be rendered as follows:

Qur’an 3:54—And they (the unbelievers) planned to deceive, and Allah planned to deceive (the unbelievers), and Allah is the best of deceivers.

Qur’an 7:99—Are they then safe from Allah’s deception? No one feels safe from Allah’s deception except those that shall perish.

Qur’an 8:30—And (remember) when the unbelievers plotted deception against you (O Muhammad), to imprison you, or kill you, or expel you. They plotted deception, but Allah also plotted deception; and Allah is the best of deceivers.

Since the Bible declares that Satan is the father of lies (John 8:44), the question must be raised: Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God? There is nothing to indicate Christians and muslims worship the same entity.

“Father Czerny said that there is a natural tendency to “scapegoat” migrants and people who are different from us, especially when we are suffering political, social and economic unrest”. What does islam have in common with civilized society? islam is a political, social, religious dictatorship that denies the rights and freedoms of everyone. What evidence is there to indicate that an islamic society is healthy, productive and peaceful, there are 57 islamic nations on earth, list those that are the jewels of future and humanity today.

The prevalent negative narrative on the migration issue has nothing to do with migrants and refugees, who have “enormously enriched” modern societies, Czerny contends, but reflects “a misplaced disappointment with our leaders”. Absolutely , fools that lead the Christian west are destroying it by feeding it to islam. What western european leader has the welfare and happiness of the people as a priority? Suppression of free speech, importing muslim beggars and violent bums to consume the resources of a nation is not a positive thing.

Migrants and refugees “are being scapegoated,” he said. “So, I think by telling the truth and by telling positive stories, that’s how I hope we can reverse that narrative.”…Ok, lets tell the truth, especially about significant increase in violent crime that follows muslims everywhere they go.

Were the members of Carta di Roma to read a little history or view the many historical materpieces beautifying the walls of the Vatican Museum they would realise there is never anything positive about hijrah.

“We need positive stories,” Czerny said, in order to help people
appreciate the benefits of migration instead of always focusing on its
problems.” Oh, you want positive stories, eh father. How about ‘refugees forced to leave. Refugees sentenced to life for FGM.’ How’s that, father.

“The prevalent negative narrative on the migration issue has nothing to do with migrants and refugees,….” The sane people of europe cannot over come the insanity that has over taken not only the EU but, the Vatican itself. They have passed the point of no return.

The Vatican and its global influence was dead and done when the Marxist Globalists took out the duly elected Pope and put in the Marxist Pope….they just don’t know enough to lie down and die……
And here’s a heads up to some of you who don’t know: The Catholic Church owns 95% of all “refugee settlement” organizations in America…..our government pays them our tax dollars to “resettle” Muslims and other undesirables into our communities….often in the dead of night. In Jonesboro, AR- the small, Christian community -woke up one morning in 2015/2016 and found that overnight 2,000 Muslims were suddenly in their community…..overnight. No warning, no community hearings, nothing.
You should have heard the angry, shocked calls to a Little Rock, AR, radio talk show. One guy was foaming at the mouth because the Governor wouldn’t take calls about the issue and the callers were referred to other non-accountable government functionaries…

In October 2016 I saw a news story -with pictures – of thousands of “refugee” Muslims getting off a ship in New Orleans. Weeks later -in a small article, buried in the back pages of a newspaper -….”authorities” reported that they had lost track of 4-5 of them…..poof…they just disappeared off the ship into the landscape.
The Vatican is making 100s of millions of dollars to bring in those who will kill us when they get the chance and will never “assimilate”……they are here to make us “accommodate and submit” to Islam.
What happened to Trump’s idea of creating a safe space in the Middle East and returning all of these “refugees’ to their own region? When does that happen?

Why should we embrace migration, we did not ask for it, we did not vote for it, and we do not want it? How can people whose holy book forbids them from being be friendly to non Muslims ever integrate into non Muslim societies? It is complete fantasy to even imagine it. 90 % in some countries and significant majorities in others do no work and just live off welfare so what contribution are they making to our societies and economies? They are just draining our already overstretched welfare systems and destroying our education systems as well.
