The vatican obviously can't physically help refugees. It's only a few hundred acres all of which are occupied. It does help refugees worldwide through its charity programs, obviously.

Let's start with 100,000 Syrian refugees. It's the Christian thing to do. Right Pope Francis? Right Catholic folks?

Actually the Pope has spoken and acted against that opulence, he leads by example and has made strides, but the biggest question is are you referring to yourself in the third person? because you are the OP.

The church is not a country. The Pope has publically pushed for wealthy countries to open their doors to thousands of refugees. I want to see the Pope not be a hypocrite. Think i'll get my wish?

Irrelevant. A parish cannot accept a refugee without the refugee first receiving permission from the government to enter the country.

The Vatican is a wealthy country. The Vatican should accept thousands of Syrian refugees.

So the Vatican should simply ignore the country's laws. It seems pretty simple.
