Pope Francis has denounced Europe’s treatment of migrants as “disgusting, sinful and criminal.” Francis gave the description on Sunday as he elevated to sainthood an Italian bishop and an Italian-born missionary whose work and lives illustrated the difficulties faced by 19th Century Italian emigrants.
“ The exclusion of migrants is scandalous,’’ Francis said, generating applause from the faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square for the canonizations of Don Giovanni Battista Scalabrini, an Italian bishop who founded an order to help Italian emigrants in 1887, and Artedime Zatti, an Italian who emigrated in 1897 to Argentina and dedicated his life as a lay-worker there to helping the sick.
Scalabrini founded the Missionaries of Saint Charles Borromeo, known as the Scalabrian Fathers, and the Missionary Sisters of Saint Charles Borromeo Scalabrians, to minister to the many Italians who left their homeland due to what he wrote were the combined effects of an agricultural crisis, social change, a poorly managed economy, exorbitant taxation and “the natural desire to improve one’s condition.
The order he founded currently operates 176 missions around the world, including 27 migrant shelters and 20 schools and centers for children.
