It's funny how the interpretations of Pope Francis' comments on the issue are taken. Some quote him as indicating too much immigration and Europe could lose its culture, others indicate he's open to the immigration and Churches should be at the vanguard in acceptance.
Personally, I think there is a place for limited acceptance of refugees, but first priority should be keeping people in the region they are from, not hundreds/thousands of miles away and expect different cultures to readily accept a large influx of a group of individuals who may/may not accept the culture they are being relocated to.
Maybe world powers should do more to settle down the unrest there. That said, a couple hundred years of meddling is hard to undo.
