Rome . Mass deportation of migrants that Mr. Trump initiated in the second term.
In an open letter to us, Catholic bishops sent on Tuesday, Argentine Pope criticized Mr Trump's mass deportation program, saying that those who entered the US should not be considered as criminals and that the general plan cannot be supported because it violates human The dignity of humanity.
At the request on Tuesday, the reporters of Fox News comment on “harsh words” pope “,” said Homan: “I have sharp words for the Pope: I say it as a lifetime Catholic. He must focus on his work and leave the execution of the organs for us it has a wall around the Vatican, right? “

Homan reaffirmed these sentiments to other journalists in the White House, saying: “I would like it to follow the Catholic Church and remedy it and left us a border execution.”
In his letter to the bishops, Francis said he carefully monitors the “major crisis” in the US, but “a properly formed conscience cannot make a critical opinion and express its disagreement with any measure that is silent or clearly identifying illegal or illegal information status migrants with crime. “
Francis acknowledged that nations have the right to defend themselves from migrants who have committed crimes, but he said it was not compatible with politics for ordering and legal migration.
Deportation of people who escaped with extreme poverty, uncertainty, exploitation, persecution or serious deterioration of special vulnerability and defenselessness, ”the Pope said.

“What is built on the basis of force, not the truth about the equal dignity of each person, begins poorly and will end badly,” Francis warned.
The Pope, 88 years old, made the defense of migrants and refugees with the priority of his papacy because he was elected to head the Catholic Church in 2013. However, the Pontiff is rarely criticized by the country's internal political debate.
The Pope also rejected the use of Vice President JD Vance Catholic Theology to justify immigration repression.
In the speech on January 29 at Fox News, Vens, who moved to Catholicism in 2019, described what he said, “a very Christian concept: you love your family, and then love your neighbor, and then love your community as well as Then you love your compatriots in your country.
When critics replied that he misunderstood the gospel, Vnes came to social media to claim that the moral duties of a person to his own children exceed them: “to a stranger who lives for thousands of miles.”
“Just Google” Ordo Amoris “,” Vens wrote, citing the medieval Catholic concept of “the order of love” or “the order of charity” God, ourselves and our neighbors.
Pope Francis, not mentioning Vens, directly contradicted the interpretation of the vice -president of Christian love in his Tuesday.
“Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that are gradually spreading to other persons and groups,” he wrote. “The true Horde of Amoris, which needs to be promoted, is what we find, constantly reflecting on the parable of the” good Samaritan “, that is, reflecting on the love that creates a brotherhood open to everyone without exception.”
Francis also called on Catholics and others, “without giving in to stories that discriminate and cause unnecessary suffering before our migrants and sisters of refugees.”
He said that all laws and politicians should be developed and considered: “In the light of human dignity and its fundamental rights, not the other way around.”
Pope and Mr. Trump have encountered immigration in the past.
In February 2016, he asked about Mr Trump's promise to build a border wall between the US and Mexico, Francis said: “The construction of walls is not Christian instead of bridges.”
In January Francis Called Mr Trump's plan Conducts mass deportations of the “shame” migrants.
“It will be shame,” he said in an interview with the Italian current, “because it makes poor scoundrels who pay nothing … It won't do it! You don't decide things that way.
