The 87-year-old regularly calls for more empathy for people fleeing conflict, poverty, disasters or persecution, particularly those seeking to reach Europe from Africa across the Mediterranean Sea.<\/p>\n<p>He dedicated his address at his weekly audience Wednesday to the subject, warning against \u201crestrictive laws\u201d and the \u201cmilitarisation of borders\u201d and calling for safe migration routes. \u201cIt must be said clearly: there are those who work systematically and with every means possible to repel migrants. And this, when done with awareness and responsibility, is a grave sin,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He repeated that the Mediterranean \u2014 where more than 3,000 migrants went missing last year, according to UN figures \u2014 has become a \u201ccemetery\u201d. \u201cSome deserts too, unfortunately, are becoming cemeteries of migrants. And even here it is not always a question of \u2018natural\u2019 deaths. No,\u201d he said. \u201cAt times, they have been taken to the desert and abandoned. \u201cIn the time of satellites and drones, there are migrant men, women and children that no-one must see. Only God sees them and hears their cry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He did not specify any particular country but said that his description of seas and deserts also includes oceans, lakes and rivers, as well as forests, jungles and steppes \u201cwhere migrants walk alone\u201d. \u201cBrothers and sisters, we can all agree on one thing: migrants should not be in those seas and in those lethal deserts,\u201d he said. \u201cBut it is not through more restrictive laws, it is not with the militarisation of borders, it is not with rejection that we will obtain this result,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He called for \u201csafe and legal\u201d routes for migrants and asylum seekers, and greater international efforts to combat human trafficking. The European Union admitted in May to a \u201cdifficult situation\u201d after a journalism consortium said Tunisia, Morocco and Mauritania were dumping migrants in the desert, using the bloc\u2019s funds. The 27-nation EU has struck deals with the three countries with explicit financing to boost stopping irregular migration to Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/pope-says-repelling-abandoning-migrants-is-grave-sin\/article\">DJ <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/pope-says-repelling-abandoning-migrants-is-grave-sin-pope-francis-condemned\/\">Pope says repelling, abandoning migrants is \u2018grave sin\u2019 Pope Francis condemned<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,7235,566],"class_list":["post-133336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-migrants","tag-pope"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133336\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
