The Italian Bishops Conference
(CEI) has called for solidarity with refugees and migrants,
according to the final statement of its Episcopal Council held
this week in Genoa and released Friday by CEI Secretary-General
Nunzio Galantino.
Faced with the drama of refugees and migrants trying to
reach Europe, bishops at the Conference debated "the scenarios
of instability of the Middle East and, even more, of North
Africa, turning their solidarity towards those seeking
international protection", according to the statement.
The bishops also spoke against "alarmist and ideological"
news reports in order to understand the "causes,
responsibilities and dimension of a phenomenon which, together
with huge problems, enriches the whole country", thus bringing
"reciprocal advantage".
