Pope Francis berates 'selfish' Europe during visit to migrant camp in Greece

Pope Francis visited the island of Lesbos on Sunday, calling the neglect of migrants the "shipwreck of civilisation". He warned that the Mediterranean was becoming a grim cemetery without tombstones and that little has changed with regard to the issue of migration.

He delivered a stinging rebuke to Europe which he said was "torn by nationalist egoism".
