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)

How about half a bridge from the other side, then it stops and there is a moat.
Even Heaven has a Wall, Gates and Extreme Vetting to get in.
Yep!
Watch DJT tweet about Popey’s Wall.
Lighten up, Francis.
Doesn’t the Vatican have a wall????
Catholicism has nearly always been attached with politics, and quite frequently on the wrong side of politics. This pope needs to go, badly.
Can anyone tell this Dope Pope that he has a BIGGER WALL at the Vatican?
Talk is cheap. Is he offering to take in millions of illegals?
I am sure Trump wouldn’t mind if the Pope would offer to take into the Vatican all the illegal immigrants the US doesn’t want.
Meanwhile, around the Vatican, there is a HUGE wall surrounding it..so come on Pope, practice what you preach and let these people in your Vatican I bet you have plenty of room
“Pope Francis said society should not create ‘walls but bridges’”
There is a giant wall around the Vatican. I have been there. I even met with the Swiss guard in their office, which is built into the wall. Can this guy possibly just STFU? Get your own house in order before you tell anyone else what to do. By the way, how is Cardinal Bernard Law doing still living free as a bird in Rome? Did you have him over for tea this week? You phoney!!
This so-called pope is nuts. Everything he says begins there.
Why does it matter so much to them? Why don’t they just import all the Mexican illegals and illegal Muslims into Rome!! mind your own business you stupid demon idiot!,
#notmypope!
The fake Pope can blow it out his cassock.
“Mr. Popechov, tear down your wall!!!”
...#notmypope....
Voter fraud in the Sistine Chapel.
Dear Papa: Mexico has failed miserably at containing the drug and human traffic within it’s borders, and in fact, profits from it. Building a wall isn’t ‘spiteful’ it’s survival.
There will be a “bridge” to the narrow gate in the wall.
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.” Matthew 7:13
