So, is the Pope going to apologize to his superiors?

I'm open to discussion but the article you sent is from 2016 and seems overly biased in favor of the pope. His opinion on border walls and open migration have been pretty clear.
Rebuttal to the article you sent- https://www.nationalreview.com/2016/02/pope-francis-donald-trump-wall-immigration-gospel-christianity/
Recent article on his efforts to persuade Europeans to accept more Migrants- https://www.americamagazine.org/politics-society/2023/09/25/lampedusa-africa-migrants-pope-francis-246145
Did I miss the part where the Pope gave an actual statement of the matter? His FULL statement? Not some opinion of someone else. This is the same problem we have with Q...editorialized pieces on what Q is about instead of reading the drops directly.
That first article won't load for me. Is there a direct quote from the Pope or is it an editorial piece on what the Pope supposedly said...again?
Seems like mental gymnastics to claim the statements from your original article weren't about Trump. If someone asked me what I thought about Obama and my response was "A gay Kenyan who has a gay affair with his head chef and then has him killed in an obvious coverup should be in Jail" Would you jump through the same hoops to proclaim that I obviously wasn't talking about Obama just because I didn't say his name? No, The Pope was very clearly talking about Trump and the American Border when he made the comment of "A man who builds only walls..."
The Pope is speaking in generalities in this answer. That isn't hoop jumping. He is responding to the specific question asked by the interviewer who was clearly trying to provoke a specific response from the Pope. You are twisting the article to meet YOUR bias.
I told you this is what they do to the Pope and they want Catholics and non-Catholics to be disgusted with the Pope and the Catholic church so they set them up for "got'cha!" questions or click-bait worthy answers. You are never given the full context and the journalists are generally vehemently anti-Catholic. Gee, but I'm the one with a bias?
Again, this is the same kind of treatment Trump received. They've been doing this to the Catholic church even longer. The media is not going to fairly report on anything Catholic because the media is run by Freemasons and Jews who have planned FOR YEARS to destroy the Catholic faith.
Figure it out. Or don't. You clearly want to hate the Catholic church and the Pope. Strange prejudice you got there. Anti-Catholicism is the last acceptable prejudice Americans have.
Thanks for your time.
I said the first article you linked was biased, no reason to take that as an insult unless you wrote it. The pope misrepresents illegal immigrants as destitute refugees over and over again. I'm not going to lie to myself about that and claim his direct quotes are taken out of context to make myself feel better. If you want to perceive that as a "strange prejudice", then be my guest.
The repeated message he gives is that we should just keep accepting more and more migrants even if it is a detriment to ourselves. He makes bs communist "greater good" arguments and dresses them up as compassionate christianity while framing everyone opposed to it as living in excess and privilige. He never acknowledges that most of these people are scamming the system and are not refugees, he only acknowledges them as poor refugees just trying to get by when most are either obese Chongas with the latest version of Iphone or military age invaders from multiple countries away.
Direct quote from Pope from that Lampedusa article Pope Francis today repeated the words he had first uttered when he visited the island of Lampedusa on July 8, 2013 to mourn the thousands who had drowned in the Mediterranean Sea on their way to seek refuge in Europe: “Today, the culture of comfort… makes us think only of ourselves, makes us insensitive to the cries of other people… which results in indifference to others; indeed, it even leads to the globalization of indifference.” This morning, in his homily, he went further and declared: “In the end, we too risk becoming like that rich man in the Gospel who is unconcerned for the poor man Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table. Too intent on buying elegant clothes and organizing lavish banquets, the rich man in the parable is blind to Lazarus’s suffering. Overly concerned with preserving our own well-being, we too risk being blind to our brothers and sisters in difficulty.”
He concluded his homily by entrusting to “the maternal love of Mary, Our Lady of the Way, all migrants and refugees, together with those who live on the peripheries of our world and those who have chosen to share their journey.”
Can I see the quote?
AND the catechism of the Catholic church specifically addresses this!
