Communicating migration â Pope Francisâ strategy of reframing refugee issues
One of the most frequent topics in Pope Francisâ public interventions, either orally or in writing, regards refugees and migrants. His teachings speak about a humble Church on a mission to assist the poor and those on the peripheries, and refugees and migrants occupy the center: they are the core and trademark of Francisâ pontificate. This reality, however, is not a mere coincidence neither is it caused by improvisation. Since his trip to Lampedusa in 2013âthe first of his pontificateâFrancis has shown he has a strategy for the refugee and migrant issue. He is consistent and has a well-prepared message.
