The Vatican on Wednesday voiced “concern” over US President Donald Trump’s executive orders to build a wall on the US-Mexican border and impose a travel ban on nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries.

“Naturally, there is concern,” the Holy See’s number three, Monsignor Angelo Becciu, said on the Catholic TV channel TV2000, in response to a question.

”We are builders of bridges, far less of walls, and all Christians should emphatically reaffirm this message.”

Becciu noted that Pope Francis had repeatedly stressed the need “to integrate those who arrive, who come into our society, into our culture.” …

I am concerned as many in the higher ups at the Vatican that Islam will be the dominant Religion if not already in Europe

That’s it. I’m getting rid of my computer’s firewall and I’m contacting my reps to encourage them to do the same.

This Pope makes me so angry I may go back to being Catholic just so I can leave again.

The Commies were also concerned about Ronald Reagan.

To my way of thinking, if Trump bothers the Commie Pope, then Trump must be doing something right.

I think Francis the talking poop has a little more to worry about in the Vatican right now and should keep his mouth shut...he might not be the talking poop for much longer...

As a Catholic, I am concerned about the Pope’s and the Vatican’s policies.

Just more proof that the Catholic church is more politics than religion. Always has been.

”We are builders of bridges, far less of walls, and all Christians should emphatically reaffirm this message.”

Is it okay for a country to enforce its laws to protect its citizens? Radical Islamic terrorism has impacted the USA to the cost of thousands of lives since 9/11/2001, plus crimes (rape, murder, and mayhem) committed by illegal aliens, drug cartels and gangs.

Our jails have many illegal alien inmates convicted of heinous crimes. Our laws have been ignored by the Obama regime to allow even more illegal immigrants to enter our country.

Is it not fair to allow a country to secure its borders and properly vet incoming legal immigrants to stop the terrorism?

We are the most generous and welcoming country in the world. Thanks to the forgotten man, our new administration is taking a break to properly protect our borders, language, and culture.

When it comes to building bridges we are the best in the entire world. We now have the responsible leadership to continue our generosity while protecting Americans.

The Vatican is doing nothing but burning bridges these days.

This pope and his cronies are purposely trying to destroy the Church.

But they don’t “come into our culture” ... they are waiting for you to submit. This pope makes me crazy. He’s a fool, I am sorry to say.

Sadly he is not alone in Christian circles. I think a post was here a few days ago from Christianity Today, which said fears about refugees are exaggerated. And there are Christians weak in mind, but maybe strong in heart, who think we should welcome all refugees in.

Christianity Today, the liberal “evangelical” publication?
