Pope Leo XIV has traveled to the Canary Islands, an epicenter of the European migration debate. He challenged countries to uphold migrants’ rights while shaming those leaders, including Christians, who turn them away with indifference.
The Vatican has a surface area of 0.44km² - most of it is the palace, museum and gardens. Not sure how many refugees they could realistically host.
They do however have services for the poor (food/baths - free of charge) and have rules on churches (worldwide) taking in, providing shelter and food for a certain ammount of ‘refugees of any kind’.
Do with that what you will.
