The economic paradox behind the Pope's migration rhetoric

While Pope Francis bows to the dignity of migrants, the Vatican, one of the wealthiest states in the world, takes in not a single one. The contradiction does not go unnoticed in a context where immigration is straining European economies.

The Vatican, with no migrants, preaches welcome

The Holy See, with its property and financial assets, has seen its number of internal migrants drop to zero. While it calls on European countries to open their borders, there are no welcome programmes on its own territory. A figure the Curia does not publish.

The Pope's business: demagoguery and investments

The same pontiff who embraces refugees meets with executives from investment funds linked to the Rothschilds. The question is inevitable: does he preach self-denial while running a financial holding?

The Church's history is full of economic hypocrisy. Ever since Ratzinger was forced to resign by the proge current, the institution has done nothing but deepen its double standards. How long will this farce go on?
