(ANSA) - Rome, October 17 - Italian Bishops Conference (CEI)
Secretary-General Msgr Nunzio Galantino said he, too, was a
migrant in his youth in Switzerland.
"I slept in the Italian immigrants' shacks, I worked as a
butcher to pay my way through the seminary," Galantino told
TV2000 on the sidelines of the presentation of the report
Italians in the World 2017, compiled by the Fondazione
Migrantes.
The CEI has frequently called for Italy to take in as many
migrants as it can, within reasonable limits.
Pope Francis said Monday that the "global pact for safe,
regular and orderly migration" that the United Nations is
working on calls for "systematic, coordinated intergovernmental
action in agreement with the existing international laws".
