Cardinal Marx on blind hatred towards refugees

naamloos“This can’t be true: the mother and child in a rubber boat in the Mediterranean are a threat to me? I can’t accept that. Weapons threaten me. The unrest in the Middle East threaten me. Collapsing states threaten me. Hate and violence in our society threaten me. But not the mother and child in a rubber boat.”

When he’s right, he’s right.
