Pope Leo XIV visits a former focal point of Europe’s migration debate in the Canary Islands, where he criticizes what he describes as the world’s indifference toward migrants. Multiple reports say the Pope’s trip focuses on a once-notorious “dock of shame” linked to the migration crisis, and that he uses the visit to call on countries to respect migrants’ rights. According to the accounts, he urges governments and leaders to respond more responsibly to people seeking safety and better living conditions. The reports also note that the Pope directs his criticism at political leaders, including Christians, whom he says have contributed to policies or practices that turn migrants away. The coverage frames the visit as both a symbolic gesture and a message intended to pressure governments to offer humane treatment, rather than tolerance of rejection or neglect. The Pope’s remarks are presented as part of a broader campaign emphasizing migrants’ dignity and legal protections.
