Pope Francis has slammed economically advanced countries for elitism and individualism while calling for compassion and tolerance for refugees, displaced peoples and anybody who’s different.
“Today’s world is increasingly becoming more elitist and cruel towards the excluded,” Pope Francis wrote Monday, in a message for World Migrant and Refugee Day.
Francis said refugees had become “emblems of exclusion” in Europe and that “fear of ‘the other’” and “the unknown” were depriving people of an “opportunity to encounter the Lord.” He encouraged acts of charity. -RT News
