‘Fear is the worst counsellor’ – Vatican official on refugees

After the meeting, Parolin said it was important not to fear people of other religions and cultures.

“I think that fear is the worst counsellor for everything. (…) Of course, there are problems, it is not easy, we know that the problem is integration, it is a real problem, because we are from different cultures, different religions, different backgrounds, but we have a common ground, which is humanity,” the cardinal told Vilnius journalists.
