The Pope’s Raising ‘Security’ Issues
An interesting notion: Can Pope Francis’ message about “immigration, climate change, financial inequality” be interpreted in terms of their bearing on security, national security, that is? Arnold Bogis on Homeland Security Watch asks that question in all seriousness.
“I originally thought to ask to keep remarks focused on the security aspect of (the pope’s) trip,” Bogis writes. “But it occurred to me that many of the subjects he has or is expected to talk about (like those above) are homeland security issues…Can he move the needle regarding these subjects, or will everyone listen politely and then go back to their previous thoughts/beliefs/opinions as soon as he leaves?” Good questions.
