Ten 1000 euros and an episcopal boat. Italian bishops fund... migrant smuggling from Africa

At the end of August, the first Italian-funded episcopate-funded vessel was active in rescue and smuggling operations into Italy of illegal migrants. All with the Pope's blessing. This is another courtesy the bishops have done to left-wing activist Luce Casarini. Previously, a pro-migration activist received crucial funds from parts of the diocese, and even hosted the Synod about Synodality. This is replacing the actual mission of the Church with an effort to approach the ideological trends of modernity, says Prof. Stefano Fontana.

Funded by the Migrantes Foundation of the Italian Episcopal, the ship late sailed from Tarpani port to accompany Luc Casarini's unit Mare Ionio. This left-wing activist is presently working with Father Mattia Ferrari to catch illegal visitors from the waters of the Ionian Sea and then transport them to Italy.

For joint operations with the Foundation Mediterranean Savings Humans funded by bishops the ship received the blessing of a local bishop. Pope Francis personally directed his praise and thanks to the combined crews. “I want you all the best and send my blessing to the crew of the Mediterranean Saving Humans and Migrantes... I pray for you. Thank you very much for your testimony. May the Lord bless you, and the Blessed Virgin defend you. With a brotherly greeting. Francis," wrote to pro-migration activists the Holy Father.

Luca Casarini in 2023 received tens of thousands of euros from various Italian dioceses for his promigration venture. Earlier, this left-wing activist was even invited to the Synod's Synod of Synodality. As the Spanish portal infocatolica.com points out, fresh facts show that the president of the Italian Bishops' Conference, cardinal. Matteo Zuppi, had to be perfectly informed about Casarini's financing of activities by any of the chief officers.

This information was commented with distaste by prof. Stefano Fontana, lecturer at Sapienza University in Rome. The student pointed out that social activism, the more destabilising the state, is not the task of the Church. In their social activity, hierarchs should follow their own social doctrine of the Church, not the new-left utopia of society without borders, the teacher believes.

“In this case... a group with dubious ideas was supported, the resources of the faithful were utilized for purposes that many would not approve of. An ideological imagination of immigration has been supported, which ignores many aspects and another distorts," the academic said. As he added, the Church supporting migration refuses to take into account the actual motivation of foreigners to come to the state. Whether they want to come to him to profit unfairly at the expense of citizens seems irrelevant to the hierarchs. All that matters is visitors. A possible violation of Italian law was besides ignored during the spread of survivors, added the scholar.

In the issue of migration, the Church should "create a proposal that will reasonably give everyone what is due to him," he stressed in his article Fontana. In this case, Italian bishops alternatively advocated the interests of foreigners, ignoring their own people. As the student added, for a long time the episcopate of Italy, headed by cardinals. Zuppim, straight active in politics, supporting left-wing narrative.
