This comes shortly after the Roman Pontiff advocated for nations to take in displaced refugees from Syria.

He said:

“It’s true, I also want to recognize that, nowadays, territorial security conditions are not the same as they were in other periods (of mass migration)… The truth is that just 250 miles from Sicily there is an incredibly cruel terrorist group. So there is a danger of infiltration, this is true…Yes, nobody said Rome would be immune to this threat. But you can take precautions.”

Is the Pope right? Can we be both compassionate and safe?
