Migrants deserve solidarity and mercy

At a Mass on Friday Pope Francis prayed for the victims of mass migration.

He said: The only reasonable response to the challenges presented by contemporary migration is solidarity and mercy. Governments must be less concerned with political calculations and more with an equitable distribution of responsibilities.
