Popes Takes Refugees Home to Rome
The New York Times reports that Pope Francis after a visit into the heart of Europe’s migrant crisis, took 12 Muslim refugees from Syria, including six children, with him back to Rome aboard the papal plane. The action punctuated the pope’s pleas for sympathy for the refugees. “Those taken to Rome were three families — two from Damascus and one from Deir al-Zour — whose homes had been bombed in the Syrian war, the Vatican said in a statement as the pope departed the Greek island of Lesbos, where he had visited the Moria refugee camp.”
