The Holy See is concerned about
"the signal sent around the world" by the construction of a wall
on the US-Mexican border and hopes other countries, in Europe
especially, do not follow the example, the prefect of the
Vatican's new Dicastery for the Promotion of Integral Human
Development, Cardinal Paul Turkson, said Friday. Talking to the
SIR news agency, Turkson said "we hope the wall won't be built
but knowing (US Prsident Donald) Trump perhaps it will." He said
"the Holy See is concerned because it does not only regard the
situation with Mexico but also the signal that it gives to the
world. It isn't just the US that wants to build walls against
migrants, it's happening in Europe too. I hop they don't follow
this example. A president may build a wall but another president
may come and knock it down".
