After EU Parliament Changes Asylum Rules, Meloni’s Italy Approves Law Authorizing Naval Blockades Against Migrant Boats

Italian PM Meloni may set up Naval blockades against migrant boats.

Will European countries finally start protecting their borders?

Yesterday, the Italian cabinet led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni approved a bill authorizing ‘naval blockades’ to halt the invasion of migrant boats.

The measure would be implemented during periods of ‘exceptional border pressure’.

This tightening of measures against irregular arrivals reinforces Meloni’s moves to speed up repatriations of ‘unsuccessful asylum seekers’ (a.k.a. illegal migrants) and introduced stiffer jail terms for human smugglers.

Italy, Lampedusa now. Look, they are only men! In the last few hours, 25 boats have arrived with 1,500 illegal immigrants. In 9 months Giorgia Meloni has allowed over 105,000 illegal immigrants to invade Italy, 400 every day! A real apocalypse. Stop the invasion, save Europe! pic.twitter.com/IsGuhbSJAI

Reuters reported:

“The move comes after the European Parliament this week approved changes to EU asylum rules, responding to pressure from member states including Italy for a tougher approach.

Under a draft of the legislation seen by Reuters, the government could ban boats from entering its territorial waters for up to six months ‘in cases of serious threat to public order or national security’.”

“Those breaching it would face fines of up to 50,000 euros (60,000) and in case of repeated violations have their boats confiscated — a measure aimed at charity rescue ships.”

‼️ Wow Meloni goes hardcore in Italy by using the Navy to block migrant boats from landing.

Proposed legislation was agreed by ministers yesterday.

She isn’t bowing to the pressure of the UN or the ECHR, she’s protecting Italy and delivering her election promise. pic.twitter.com/E6c4aeFnRL

Meloni’s coalition says that humanitarian groups’ boats are an incentive for migrants to put to sea.

“Under the rules passed by EU lawmakers on Tuesday, member countries may reject an asylum application if the person could have received protection in a country the bloc considers safe. The European Parliament approved a list of countries to which failed asylum seekers could be returned.”

Italy’s Giorgia Meloni:
We have approved a new measure to strengthen the fight against illegal migration and human traffickers. In case of exceptional migration fluxes like the one Italy is living, military ships will block the boats and escort them back.pic.twitter.com/8M83bbvSUE

The Vatican Grants Plenary Indulgences To Catholics Who Take Break From Video Games, TikTok and Twitter/X | Protestia

The Vatican Grants Plenary Indulgences To Catholics Who Take Break From Video Games, TikTok and Twitter/X

In celebration of the Jubilee Year, which Roman Catholics celebrate every quarter century, the Vatican has released its list of plenary indulgences, including everything from traveling to Rome to abstaining from distracting video games and social media apps.

In Romanist theology, nearly every Christian who passes away goes to purgatory. Here, even though their sins are forgiven, believers still need to be punished for their sins and cleansed from their attachment to their dark desires before they can go to heaven. This may take five years, five hundred years, or even five thousand and more.

Lucky for them, access to indulgences is one way to fast-track the process, reducing the time spent in purgatory either for yourself or a loved one.

Roman Catholics believe that there exists a treasury of merit, a “super-abundant store of righteousness and good works belonging to Christ, the Virgin Mary, and the saints” that the pope alone can “pull from” whenever he wants to transfer the earned merit of some people to others. 

A plenary indulgence removes all temporal punishment due to sin and helps purgatory-bound souls get to heaven much faster. According to the Vatican, it applies to sins already forgiven and “cleanses the soul as if the person had just been baptized.”

Some of the things people can do that can earn them “two plenary indulgences for the deceased in one day:”

-Fasting at least one day a week from “futile distractions” such as social media, television, video games, certain phone apps. (Editor’s note. Surely TikTok and Twitter/X would apply)

-Visit any local Cathedral, Marian Shrine, or other special church designated by the local bishop for obtaining the Jubilee Indulgence.

-Make a Pilgrimage to Rome and pray for the Pope’s intentions in any one of the Four Major Papal Basilicas (St. Peter’s Basilica, the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran, St. Mary Major, or St. Paul Outside the Walls) or any of the special Jubilee churches listed by the Apostolic penitentiary in Rome.

-Make a pilgrimage to one of the following churches in Italy: Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels in Assisi, Basilica of Our Lady of Loretto Basilica of Our Lady of Pompeii, Basilica in St. Anthony in Padua, OR in the Holy Land: Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, Basilica of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth.

-Perform an extraordinary work of mercy such as a generous gift to the poor, or visiting nursing homes or prison.

-Participate in diocesan or parish sponsored spiritual exercises, missions, or formation activities based on the documents of the Second Vatican Council or the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

It’s a sick, sick system, but we’d expect nothing less from this corrupt and polluting false religion.
