教皇稱逃難移民的苦難令他傷感落淚

Pope Francis said Sunday the plight of migrants seeking to escape war and poverty in North Africa and the Middle East brings tears to his eyes.

Francis spoke to a group of laborers in the Italian city of Turin while European Union ministers haggle over who is to take care of more 100,000 refugees who have arrived on European shores via Italy since January.

The pope denounced what he said is a system that treats people like "merchandise," and said the refugees should not be blamed for trying to get jobs.

Francis also heaped strong criticism on arms manufacturers and those who invest in such companies, calling them hypocrites for claiming to be Christians.教皇方濟各星期天表示，北非和中東地區尋求逃離戰亂和貧困的移民遭遇的苦難令他傷心落淚。

教皇方濟各在意大利城市都靈對一羣勞工講這番話的同時，歐盟國家部長們正在爲應該由誰來照管今年1月以來通過意大利抵達歐洲海岸的10萬多名難民而爭執不休。

按照教皇的話說，他形容這套體系對待人們就像對待“商品，”並說難民不應當因爲努力尋找工作而受到責難。

教皇方濟各還言辭抨擊軍火製造商和那些向這類公司投資的人，稱他們自稱基督徒是僞君子行爲。
