France, a predominantly Catholic country with a 5-10 percent Muslim population, needed to ensure immigrants and their descendents could be part of "a real common culture imbued with fundamental moral and spiritual values", he said.
That meant giving them "more confidence in a better future, allowing them to build their existence, to find a job to meet their needs and those of their families, to have the well-being which is their natural right."
Other countries in Europe needed to make similar efforts, Benedict added. "Social peace, to a large extent, is (achieved) at this price."
In other words, the immigrants must become European, or else there has been a de facto invasion. It is a question of the continued existence of what has been called Europe.
The USA has the same, but milder problem.
