As we all know, we live in an era where ideological boundaries are often blurred. It is also clear that far-right populists interpret religion based on their political views.
A typical example is Pope Francis’s immigration issue during his recent visit to Greece. His comments exposed the reason for the existence of the far right in Europe.
Last Sunday, the Pope returned to Lesbos and visited the immigration camp there. He described Europe’s neglect of immigration as a “civilized shipwreck.”
“In Europe, some people insist on treating this issue as something that has nothing to do with them,” the Pope said, adding, “When people’s lives are threatened, and when people’s dignity is threatened, national boundaries become irrelevant. NS”.
this Washington post He wrote that during his visit to Greece, Pope Francis focused on the need for Europe to return to its roots while avoiding the temptations of populism and nationalism. His words paid special attention to the plight of immigrants and refugees, and urged European leaders to welcome and integrate religious, ethnic and cultural differences.
In 2019, the Pope thanked and recommended an atheist named Alexis Tsipras to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his handling of the immigration crisis. He saw Tsipras again last week.
Tsipras said after the meeting: “I thank Pope Francis for his stern sincerity in his speech,” adding that the two discussed the hypocrisy of the EU government on the plight of refugees and immigrants.
“They talk about human rights while building fences and denying any legal immigration routes,” Tsipras added.
In Hungary, the Pope’s comments on immigration were largely ignored. “The Pope is campaigning to support immigration,” said a channel that supports Orban.
At the same time, Victor Orban, Marina Le Pen, Jaroslaw Kaczynski and other advocates of “Christian Europe” are working to eliminate their differences and unite to fight immigration. Helping Europe return to the roots of Christianity, even the immigration counterattack and the fence are almost non-Christian.
One possible solution to help confused Christian voters understand who represents European politics today is for the Christian Democrats to tell them that, as Pope Francis did, Victor Orban just pretended to be a Christian.
