Pope Francis is very concerned and shared his opinion of the ‘very dangerous alliances' coming out of the G20. Pointing out America and Russia, and others.
Pope Francis is very concerned that these alliances, with their 'distorted visions’ of the world, will punish immigrants, the poor and the marginalized.
Pope Francis is a voice of reason and knows America is no longer leading, with Donald Trump. We are without real leadership. Rudderless. No soul and mean. Thankfully there are those like the Pope who will speak out strongly against these alliances.
Pope Francis warned leaders of the world's top 20 economies meeting in Hamburg against forming dangerous and distorting alliances that could harm the poor and migrants, in an article in Italian daily la Repubblica on Saturday.
"The G20 worries me, it hits migrants in countries in half of the world and it hits them even more as time goes by," the Pope was quoted as saying in a conversation with the paper's founder Eugenio Scalfari.
Francis, the first non-European pope in 1,300 years, said he was afraid of "very dangerous alliances among (foreign) powers that have a distorted vision of the world: America and Russia, China and North Korea, (Vladimir) Putin and (Bashar al-)Assad in the war in Syria."
He said the greatest danger concerned immigration, with "the poor, the weak, the excluded and the marginalised" juxtaposed with "those who... fear the invasion of migrants".
Truly amazing we are now considered a country with a 'distorted vision’ of the world.
We are now lumped together with the Assads and Putins of the world.
It took Donald Trump just a few months to get us there.
