Former Vatican Chief: Globalists Use Mass Migration to ‘Destroy National Identity’

The Vatican’s former doctrine czar Cardinal Gerhard Müller warned on Monday that globalists are weaponizing mass migration to destroy the national identity of countries.

“Mass immigration is not about helping people but about destroying national identity,” Müller told LifeSiteNews. “They say that national identity is nationalism, which has caused all the wars, so they say they are against nationalism, but they are really against the nation.”

“They want everyone to be completely isolated and not connected by language, culture, family ties, or a native land where you feel at home,” Müller declared.

“They want to destroy all that. They want everyone to be atomized, without cultural and religious roots and identity,” he said.

This week Italy’s Ministry of the Interior released official data on the record-high number of immigrants landing on Italian soil, which total 153,071 as of December 7.

This figure represents a 58 percent increase over the same period in 2022 (96,878) and a whopping 143 percent increase over 2021, with migrant arrivals of just 63,062 as of December 7, 2021.

In fact, Italy received more migrants in 2023 than any other year in the past decade, except 2015 — at the acme of Europe’s migrant crisis — when the Bel Paese received 181,436 sea arrivals.

Of all immigrants arriving in Europe in 2023 (268,975), Italy has received well over half (57 percent).

According to Cardinal Müller, who headed up the Vatican’s doctrinal office (CDF) from 2012 until 2017, such massive migration movements are not merely random or coincidental but are actively promoted by those who wish to destabilize especially western nations.

In his interview this past week, Cardinal Müller lamented that the Catholic Church has been complicit in pushing the globalist agenda, despite its inherent hostility to Christianity.
