Pope Francis said says society should not create 'walls but bridges' to encourage good relations among people, adding it was wrong to be spiteful and say 'I'll make you pay for that'.
US President Donald Trump has promised to build a wall on the border with Mexico and have the Mexicans pay for it. The Argentine-born pontiff did not mention Trump or that specific wall in his comments on Wednesday.
Speaking at his weekly general audience, Francis spoke of a Christian calling 'to not raise walls but bridges, to not respond to evil with evil, to overcome evil with good'.
He then improvised and added: 'A Christian can never say 'I'll make you pay for that'. Never! That is not a Christian gesture. An offence is overcome with forgiveness, by living in peace with everyone.'(continued)

Yes, the Vatican built a YUUGE wall in the eight hundreds after the religion of peace attacked the Vatican, stole and vandalized it.
Taking applications for antipope.
Did he ask from inside his walled-off compound?
Revelation 21 describes a wall that Trump could NEVER compete with:
12 [12] It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. [13] There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. [14] The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
[15] The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. [16] The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadiain length, and as wide and high as it is long. [17] The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits thick. [18] The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. [19] The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, [20] the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. [21] The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.
Wait a minute; isn’t Vatican City a walled city?
Then he is sadly mistaken; my town in NJ has been overrun, and it hasn’t bolstered our dying parishes. If this is the Pope’s goal he should ask Trump to build bridges to the Philippines, South Korea, and Africa.
You gotta be kidding...Pope Fransoros.
Pope Francis = hypocrite. Even the nuns get the pat down/metal detector entering his country: http://cdn2.newsok.biz/cache/r960-f530be12be2e682e98e5af5e1e50bcdb.jpg
Unlike most people, I am not worried if Mexico or USA or both pay for it...
but
until we can deport/repatriate all the (mostly Obama, but Bush let them in too) Islamic “immigrant” invaders from all over USA, we are in great danger (with a very dangerous enemy right in our own neighborhoods!)
we need a wall or the functional equivalent of a good wall (in the form of a reactivated border patrol or whatever) to keep any more from getting in! AND it sure would help if Mexico would prevent them from entering Mexico in the first place...... just saying... Mexico prevents South Americans from getting in (with a strict border watch on Mexico’s southern side). Any Moslems trying to get into Mexico have to fly or sail into Mexico. That means there are only a limited number of entry points or paths ... Mexico could help USA a great deal if it will only seal those leaks...which endanger both of our countries.
Then we must speak with our northern friends, too..

Dear pope. I saw on You Tube three Isis fighters open the chest of a corpses, take out the entrails and one put them in his mouth. Then they ran off shouting praises to Allah holding up the organs. You could hear someone throwing up in the backgroud. You overcome that with good bullets! And you build a wall to keep them out of your country and away from your women and children. You are a stupid msn.
Yes...and his own army to guard that wall.
Hey Frankie! Bite me. America is NOT your country. Tear down your own wall. You know, the one around the Vatican.
Tear down the Vatican wall and settle refugees inside
OK pal, we'll stop production on the TRUMP WALL just as soon as you:
1) Tear down the massive Vatican wall originally erected to protect you from the Muslim hordes who wanted to kill everyone inside including your predecessor, and keep them at bay.
2) You invite thousands upon thousands of blood thirsty Muslims from terrorist states who want to kill you into your little protectorate country/house to live with you.
3) You divest yourself of the billions upon billions of dollars within the Vatican city treasury necessary in order to "take care" of them and their descendants in perpetuity.
Until you fulfill ALL of the above: Be quiet and mind your own business.
These major movements are all according to the Word of YHWH. There is a Bible ELS code that said “Hillary steals” and “D Trump wins”. The search phrase was “Hillary is corrupt”. “email interview” was near the search phrase with the same ELS. So it appears this is the way it is supposed to be. The only question for each of us is where we will spend eternity.
I pray for and miss MY Pope Benedict XVI.
I don’t recognize Francis the talking mule.
Pope Baby Talk makes me ashamed to be a Catholic.
Or would, if I had to to admit I voted for him.
I get a feeling none of us like Pope Francis. Just a thought.
Mr. Pope, Tear down that Vatican wall!
