Europe's migration crisis
On Monday, the churchs spiritual leader for southern Hungary scene of some of the heaviest migrant flows anywhere in Europe had a message just as clear: His Holiness is wrong.
Theyre not refugees. This is an invasion, said Bishop Laszlo Kiss-Rigo, whose dominion stretches across the southern reaches of this predominantly Catholic nation. They come here with cries of Allahu Akbar. They want to take over.
The bishops stark language reflects a broader spiritual struggle in Europe over how to respond to a burgeoning flow of predominantly Muslim men, women and children onto a largely Christian continent.
The popes call for compassion and charity is competing with a view most prominently articulated by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has cast the flow of migrants as a direct challenge to Europes Christian character
