Vatican REFUSES to offer ASYLUM to Catholic mother of 5 persecuted for it in Pakistan...

[The Purge]

Yet the Vatican is pushing us to accept more refugees. Wow.....Talk about the Popes HYPOCRISY!!

After years of struggle in the courts, Aasiya Noreen "Asia" Bibi — a Catholic mother of five — was acquited of charges of blasphemy in the Pakistan Supreme Court on Oct. 31. Islamic fundamentalists all over Pakistan immediately began protesting the acquittal. Many of the protesters demanded Bibi's death for her alleged blasphemy against the prophet Mohammad.

Since her acquittal, Bibi and her family have lived in fear for their lives. Many countries, such as Italy and Canada, have considered offering asylum to Bibi and her family members. Efforts to help the persecuted Catholic family have also been proposed in the United States and the United Kingdom.



But Cdl. Pietro Parolin, the Vatican's secretary of state, has said that the Vatican is not working to offer asylum to the family. He reportedly explained in November that the Vatican is not engaging in diplomatic activity to try to save Bibi, adding, "It's an issue inside Pakistan, I hope it can be resolved in the best way."

Just goes to show that their doctrine doesn't match their hearts.

To be fair the Vatican is not a big place. Not even sure what kind of living arrangements they’ve got there.

Have they ever granted asylum to anyone?

Tweet from the pope hours ago.

"Jesus knows well the pain of not being welcomed. May our hearts not be closed as were the houses in Bethlehem. #Internationalmigrantsday"

I don't have a problem with the Vatican denying asylum. But it seems like an unwise move to say something like this hours later
