Pope visits Lesbos refugees and 'will take ten migrants home to Vatican with him'
he Pope made a symbolic visit to refugees stranded in Lesbos amid
reports he had agreed to give ten migrants safe passage back to the
Vatican with him. Groups of children greeted Pope Francis as he arrived at the Moria migrant detention centre on the Greek island today.
The
teenage boys who have made the perilous journeys from their homelands
to Greece alone were lined up at the entrance, shaking the hands of the
pope and two other religious leaders.
Some were holding a Syrian flag.
Greek state television ERT later reported that Francis has offered to take 10 refugees back to Italy with him after his visit.
ERT said it appears eight Syrians and two Afghans will be offered passage.
It
would be a highly symbolic move at a time when Europe has stopped
automatically considering Afghans to be refugees and doesn't include
them among the nationalities whose asylum applications are approved.
It
comes shortly after the European Union began deporting new arrivals
back to Turkey under a controversial deal meant to stem the refugee
flow.
The pope then meet men and women who have fled their homelands seeking refuge in Europe. Some wept as they met the pope.
One
man wept uncontrollably and wailed as he knelt down before Francis on
Saturday and said: "Thank you, God. Thank you. Please Father, bless me."

Children offered Francis drawings and the pope praised one
little girl for her artwork, saying "Bravo. Bravo." Then as he handed it
off to his staff he stressed: "Don't fold it. I want it on my desk."
As
he walked by them, shaking hands with the men and bowing to the women,
the refugees shouted out their homelands: "Afghanistan." "Syria."
One little boy ducked his head through a fence to kiss Francis' ring.
The Syrian refugee resettlement programme set up by David Cameron is a "great disappointment", the head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales has said.
It
comes as Cardinal Vincent Nichols said Britain's response to the crisis
was "going very slowly" and called for a major increase in the number
of people being taken in.

Asked if he believed governments needed to show more humanity, the archbishop of Westminster replied: "I do."
He
told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I think we have the resources as a
very rich country. Think of a country like the Lebanon and some of the
other Middle Eastern countries where they have a proportion of refugees
present which represents 30-40% of the population and they cope.
"We
are a very rich country and I think with a greater cohesiveness between
a spirit of willingness that is there among many and mechanisms which
governments can put into place, we could be doing more."
He
added: "There are aspects of the government policy that are commendable
but I've said surely that can be speeded up. Surely in the first year we
can see really how many could be taken and then multiply that by five.
"At the moment it's going very slowly and it's a great disappointment."
The
Prime Minister announced plans to resettle 20,000 Syrian refugees in
Britain at the height of the crisis. The scheme will cost more than half
a billion pounds, the Government revealed earlier this week.
Cardinal
Nichols dismissed suggestions that the UK should not be taking in
refugees because some Britons are struggling to make ends meet.
He
told the programme: "I don't think the struggle of people in the
destroyed villages in and around Mosul and other parts of Syria, those
struggles are not the same as our struggles."
He added: "They are
people like ourselves and they are desperate and we should open our
hearts as well as our political and financial resources."
