The article discusses the contrasting approaches of Pope Francis and Cardinal Peter Erdo regarding the handling of refugees in Europe. Pope Francis has advocated for compassion, exemplified by his act of washing the feet of asylum seekers. In contrast, Cardinal Erdo initially closed church doors to migrants citing legal issues but reversed this stance after meeting with the Pope. This incident showcases the internal division within the Catholic Church, particularly between those who support Francis' empathetic approach and those who adhere to more conservative, rule-based perspectives, exemplified by Erdo's eventual alignment with traditional doctrine.
Cardinal Erdo's initial decision to close church doors to migrants highlighted a divide within the Catholic Church regarding the approach to refugees, contrasting sharply with Pope Francis' compassionate stance.
Despite his reversal of position after a meeting with Pope Francis, Cardinal Erdo's actions reflect the sentiments of conservatives in the Church who are resistant to the Pope's emotionally driven approach.
