Pope Leo Rebukes Pro-Migration Advocates



by Neil Munro 19 Nov 2025

Pope Leo XIV politely rebuked the many pro-migration advocates who portray him and the Catholic Church as supporters of mass migration and as opponents of deportations.

“No one has said that the United States should have open borders,” the Pope told reporters in an impromptu press conference on Tuesday.

“I think every country has a right to determine who and how and when people enter, ” said the Pope, whose Catholic religion has recognized for 1,600 years that governments have a right to rule on Earth and that moral justice is to be settled in the hereafter.

In contrast, many progressives — like Islamic advocates — insist that their form of justice be imposed on Earth, regardless of the huge civic and pocketbook costs to citizens.

The Pope must be getting feedback that his big mouth isn't bringing positive news for the church.

He probably got a phone call from his brother.  Now he needs to straighten out his Bishops.

I wonder if he got whiplash from that sudden and rapid change of position?

I am tempted blame them for quoting him out of context originally, but I have not seen the original interview.
