Germany cannot accept so many refugees: Cardinal Marx

February 08, 2016

Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich has called for "a reduction in the number of refugees" entering Germany.

Although he has said that Europe should welcome refugees, Cardinal Marx-- the president of the German bishops' conference-- said that his nation cannot "take in all the world's needy." With well over 1 million refugees having reached Germany in the past year, he said that other nations must accept a greater number.
