Pope blasts 'unwarranted fears, speculations' on refugees

(ANSA) - Vatican City, October 1 - Pope Francis on Thursday blasted fear mongering in his message for the 2016 World Day of Migrants and Refugees. "Public opinion also needs to be correctly formed, not least to prevent unwarranted fears and speculations detrimental to migrants," the Argentine pontiff said. "Migrants are our brothers and sisters in search of a better life, far away from poverty, hunger, exploitation and the unjust distribution of the planet's resources which are meant to be equitably shared by all". http://popefrancisnewsapp.com/
