Pope Francis symbolic move from Cyprus: He will transport immigrants to the Vatican

  1. If they will be living at the Vatican and provided for by the catholic church, that’s a noble gesture.

    However if once they arrive they just get unloaded on the Italian government to deal with that seems like a rather empty bit of virtue signalling.

  2. Article says:

    1. He’ll bing about 50 migrants to the Vatican
    2. It will be families and unaccompanied minors
    3. He’s doing it to send a message to larger European states

    What the article doesn’t clarify:

    1. If they’ll take random families and unaccompanied minors, or if they’ll screen for those truly needing asylum
    2. If they’ve already filed claims in Cyprus, or are still undocumented
    3. What they will do in Vatican City (will they be given jobs?)
