Pope Francis urges welcome to migrants, renounces Trump deportation plans



Donald J. Trump, on the occasion of his inauguration as 47th President in the nation's history resumed his attacks on those seeking refuge from disaster or tyranny.  But on the eve of the second term, Trump's plan  was  denounced as a disgrace  by Pope Francis.  Christopher White of National Catholic Reporter tells us:
"On the occasion of your inauguration as the forty-seventh President of the United States of America," the Pope began, "I offer cordial greetings and the assurance of my prayers that Almighty God will grant you wisdom, strength, and protection in the exercise of your high duties." "Inspired by your nation’s ideals of being a land of opportunity and welcome for all, it is my hope that under your leadership the American people will prosper and always strive to build a more just society, where there is no room for hatred, discrimination or exclusion."
