German Catholic Church to fund migrant rescue boat Sea-Eye 5

 

Germany’s Christian institutions play a pivotal role in mass immigration, through the message they preach in parishes all the way to their efforts in funding the transfer of migrants to Germany.

 

Now, the Catholic Diocese of Trier is calling for monthly donations to fund another ship to bring illegal immigrants to Europe via the Mediterranean Sea. Catholic faithful are being called upon to fund the operation of the Sea-Eye 5 “rescue ship.”

 

“Sea rescue is a Christian and humanitarian duty,” said Trier’s Vicar General Ulrich Graf von Plettenberg.

 

The church now wants 3,000 co-sponsors who will send €16.67 every month. The funding will help ensure the boat can pick up migrants off the North African coast. Often, there is no shipwreck involved, with migrants being picked up directly from human trafficking boats. It is far cheaper for these boats to send out a distress signal and have illegal migrants picked up directly from their boats. Most of these migrants end up in countries like Germany after arriving in Italy.

 

This is not the first effort to finance migrant rescue boats, with the same diocese co-financing the Sea-Eye 4 boat years ago with the help of other dioceses.
