via Father Rocky Pope Francis , What did he say today? Speaking about migration, Pope Francis said: Not infrequently, the arrival of migrants, displaced persons, asylum-seekers and refugees gives rise to suspicion and hostility. There is a fear that society will become less secure, that identity and culture will be lost, that competition for jobs will become stiffer and even that criminal activity will increase. The communications media have a role of great responsibility in this regard: it is up to them, in fact, to break down stereotypes and to offer correct information in reporting the errors of a few as well as the honesty, rectitude and goodness of the majority. So I leave you with a simple question to ponder today: If your neighbor throws trash over the fence into your yard, you will be offended, wont you? But if he throws gold coins over the fence into your yard, you would be thrilled. Is the immigrant person tossed into our yard trash or gold? What did he say today?
