ROME, Oct 9 — Pope Francis today made an impassioned defence of migrants, calling their exclusion “scandalous, disgusting and sinful,” putting him on a collision course with Italy’s upcoming right-wing government.
“The exclusion of migrants is scandalous. Indeed, the exclusion of migrants is criminal. It makes them die in front of us,” he said. Giorgia Meloni is expected to become prime minister later this month at the head of a right-wing coalition that has vowed to crack down on immigration and tighten Italy’s borders.
The pope went off script about migrants at the point in his prepared comments when he mentioned the most well known of the two new saints - Bishop Giovanni Battista Scalabrini, who lived between 1839 and 1905.
