Pope Pleads For Refugees and the Homeless

Pope Francis went to give alms Sunday at a Rome parish next to the city’s main railway station on the church’s World Day of Migrants and Refugees where he spoke out on the plight of the world’s refugees.

“Let us think of the many migrants, the many refugees and their suffering,” Francis said to those in attendance.  “Their lives are often without jobs and without documents and with a lot of pain.”

The Pope is the son of Italian immigrants to Argentina.   The parish where he spoke on Sunday provides the needs of immigrants and homeless in Rome.

The Pope also spoke bold words against human traffickers that prey on those attempting to reach a better life in a new country.  He called them “merchants of human meat who want to enslave migrants” and asked for governments to focus on not only helping immigrants but jailing traffickers.
