If they can do that they can accommodate refugees, that is if the not only want to talk the talk but wish to walk the walk.

Let them lead by example.

Vatican City has a population of 451.

Vatican City has taken in a family of 6.

Hungary has a population of 9.897 million

Hungary has taken in 18,800 refugees.

If you actually decide to do the math, I already did, the Vatican based upon percentage of the population is doing pretty good as Europeans countries go.

Now if you compare the rest of the world to Muslim countries like Turkey (1.9 million refugees), Lebanon (1.1 million), Jordan (629,266), Iraq (249,463)

"The Vatican Is A Country. The Vatican Should Take In Thousands of Syrian Refugees. "

The pope isn't going to live by refugees. He just instructs his underlings to sneak and network them into other countries. The Catholic church has been doing this for years, they don't just show up by themselves.

Apparently the math was too difficult for you. Here maybe this will help.

Apparently you either have a reading comprehension problem or a "me" issue, I wasn't addressing you.

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

this is ridiculous. you cant be loaded with cash and then cry for other people to do things you wont do. all religions are cults, its just something to believe in. Unfortunately some have been doing it for 1000 + years.


messes it up for the individual churches that do things the right way.
