Europe is experiencing a crisis evidenced by a “wave of populism” that threatens European universality, Pope Francis warned Saturday.
In a message to participants in the European Alpbach Forum, an Austrian nonprofit foundation advocating a strong and democratic Europe, the pontiff said that Europe is “experiencing a time of crisis,” a time “in which various populist movements are enjoying great popularity.”
In Europe, “as a result of this ‘wave’ of populism, some ideals have vanished and some principles, with regard to behavior towards the weaker members of society, have been sidelined,” he added.

Embrace the suck, Francis. What was Jesus, if not a populist?

I have a suggestion Frank - ditch the robes, put on some plebeian clothing and get out of your patrician surroundings. Wander among the populace and listen to what the little guy and gal have to say, what their needs are and what dreams they have for themselves and their offspring. It is what your boss did - focused on saving people and not the planet. People need a spiritual savior and not another emperor. And while you're at it put a smile on your face, that constipated look isn't going to attract anything but flies.

Perhaps Pompous Pontiff forgot that Pontius Pilate decried a wave of populism in Judea.

Vatican City is an independent country. How many " immigrants " live there? None. Most of the population consists of celibate catholic men. The birth rate is zero.

In this context, a populist is one who doesn't like being stabbed or having his daughters/wife raped by barbarian invaders.

When the Muzzie invaders gather enough 'military age men' in the area of Rome, don't be surprised to see that they 'demonstrated' and wrecked the Vatican..... while the Italian police, under orders, stood by and watched.
It's happening in Paris and in London now.... Rome is just a matter of time, and enough so-called 'migrants' from Islamic North Africa.
It's said that 'companies hire their problems' by hiring the wrong people.
Europe and the US are 'importing their problems', by allowing the wrong people to saunter in across the borders.

Bergoglio, if he lives another year or two, may get to see the Vatican Museums swarmed, looted, and trashed by some of his friends who are not "populists". It will come.

Frank also encourages the waves of illegal immigration that are the root of the violent populism problem. Make up your mind, Frank, you can't have both. How many itinerant muzzies have you taken into Vatican City?
