At present, cities like London and Paris have become unrecognizable thanks to liberal governments bending the knee to Islamists’ religious and cultural demands at the expense of their own people. What’s more, former churches are being turned into mosques, and Catholicism hardly has any influence on European culture anymore.
Add to this the almost weekly reports of atrocities committed by “refugees” (usually Muslim adult men) and one starts to have sympathy for responses such as the recent riots that broke out in Northern Ireland after a savage knife attack was committed by a Sudanese migrant who tried to behead a special needs man in public.
A quick internet search yields a horrific catalogue of crimes. Since 2015, Europe has experienced several high-profile violent offenses involving perpetrators who were migrants, asylum seekers, refugees, or recent immigrants.
These incidents include the 2015 Paris terrorist attacks, in which some of the attackers entered Europe via migration routes; the 2015 Cologne New Year’s Eve mass sexual assaults; the 2016 Würzburg train axe attack, the Ansbach suicide bombing, and the Berlin Christmas market attack in Germany (all carried out by asylum seekers); the 2016 Nice truck attack in France by a Tunisian-born resident; the 2017 Stockholm truck attack by an Uzbekistan asylum seeker; the 2017 Turku stabbing in Finland by a Moroccan asylum seeker; the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing by a British-born man from a Libyan immigrant family; the 2018 Chemnitz fatal stabbing involving Iraqi and Syrian suspects; the 2019 Lyon knife attack by an Afghan asylum seeker; the 2020 Reading park attack by a Libyan asylum seeker; the 2020 Dresden knife attack by a Syrian refugee; the 2023 Annecy playground stabbing by a Syrian refugee; the 2023 Dublin school stabbing by an Algerian-born resident; the 2024 Mannheim and Solingen attacks in Germany involving Afghan and Syrian asylum seekers; the 2025 Aschaffenburg park stabbing by an Afghan asylum seeker; and the already mentioned 2026 Belfast stabbing in Northern Ireland involving a Sudanese asylum seeker. These are only the incidents that made the headlines, a mere tip of the iceberg.
Besides these revolting attacks on the safety and security of Europeans, another equally critical problem caused by migration is the eradication of Catholicism on the continent. One would have thought that the head of the Church would be at the forefront of efforts to stem this dark bloody tide. One couldn’t be more wrong.
This past weekend, while his colleagues in the Unites States were celebrating their (and his) homeland’s founding, Leo visited the island of Lampedusa on July 4 in what can only be seen as a symbolic PR stunt to promote the globalist new world order agenda of destroying Christendom in Europe.
Like the heretic Francis before him, Leo chose Europe’s best-known gateway for mass migration as the setting for a powerful appeal to European leaders to not prevent the pillaging, but to capitulate even further.
Standing on an island that has witnessed the influx of thousands of non-Europeans, Leo gaslighted Christians to be compassionate in the face of human suffering. Apparently, the Church’s response to the Christian peoples, cultures, and nations that have sacrificed and formed Europe for nearly two millennia is to tell them their land belongs to foreigners.
Leo milked the emotional manipulation theatrics of his visit for all it was worth as he framed Lampedusa through the parable of the Good Samaritan. “The encounter with those who lie before us, stripped of everything, calls us to be close to them,” he said. He then praised the people of Lampedusa, which is off the east coast of Tunisia, for their solidarity while concluding with an appeal that “the enormity of the suffering we witness” should inspire “the civilization of love.”
Migration was thus presented almost exclusively through the lens of humanitarian obligation, while questions surrounding the horrific acts committed by migrants, sovereignty, cultural continuity, demographic change, integration, and public order received no attention. Prevost selectively forgot to include another pillar of Catholic social teaching in his woke little tirade: the common good.
The Dispatch
Nations have a right to life, too
Governments across Europe are collapsing under the scourge of weaponized migration. In many countries, Christianity is in steep decline while Islam is among the fastest-growing religions thanks to immigration and higher birth rates.
Theologians such as St. Thomas Aquinas taught that rulers have responsibilities toward the common good of the political community they oversee, while the Church’s Catechism likewise affirms that prosperous nations should welcome foreigners “to the extent they are able,” language that implies both generosity and legitimate limits.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò highlighted Leo’s absolute disdain for Church teaching by pointing out on X that the “Islamic invasion” that had been halted by previous popes such as Gregory III, Pius V and Innocent XI “is today encouraged by their ‘successor.'”
These earlier pontiffs viewed themselves not only as pastors of individual souls but rightly also as guardians of Christendom as a civilization. They believed that defending Europe’s Christian character was itself a legitimate and necessary ecclesiastical concern.
Leo’s Lampedusa homily projected a different emphasis. He described migrants as people who had “fallen into the hands of robbers” while he condemned the forces who profit from human trafficking.
What he failed to do is examine why mass migration is happening in the first place, who is creating the circumstances for it, and who is actually gaining from it.
Nor did Leo devote substantial attention to the responsibilities of migrants themselves. Sure, he has said some public comments to that effect before, but successful integration requires repeated messaging about the need for respect for local laws, customs, and civic traditions, together with a willingness to participate in the cultural life of the receiving nation. As noted above, this has not been happening.
Of course, Catholics should show charity to the oppressed and the stranger, but the Gospel also speaks of shepherds protecting their flocks. Love of neighbor includes responsibility toward one’s own family, community, and nation — charity and prudence are complementary virtues, not opposing ones.
As Europe continues to descend into chaos and anarchy while demographic decline continues unabated, religious transformation and persistent migration pressure will continue to increase. What is truly needed right now is a historical figure akin to Gregory III, Pius V, and Innocent XI. Instead, we have a blackmailed, effeminate infiltrator who is a puppet of the Judeo-Masonic globalist agenda to destroy nations, races, peoples, and most importantly, Catholicism.
