Pope vs. Trump: 'Not Christian' to only build border walls

"For a religious leader to question a person's faith is disgraceful," he said at a campaign stop in South Carolina, which holds a key primary on Saturday. "I am proud to be a Christian, and as president I will not allow Christianity to be consistently attacked and weakened."...........Well said!!!

Thanks, Pope!

Just helped make this THE issue - which helps Trump - a few days out from voting.

The pope better not mess with, the Donald .... just sayin ...

[mandaladon]

Cruz said he was steering clear of the dispute. "That's between Donald and the pope," he said. "I'm not going to get in the middle of them."----------------------->Coward!!!

This pope is so useless. I’m not a catholic, but I loved JPII. Your holiness, you are no JPII!

The Pope is an evil, hypocritical fool.

[gg188]

The salient point here is this:

The Pope knows that ONLY DONALD TRUMP will build a wall.

I have heard conservatives using this as a talking point against Trump, but I have not heard one word from any other candidates saying, "Hey, the Pope is talking about ME TOO, not just Trump." Cowards.

POPE SAYS: ONLY TRUMP WILL BUILD A WALL

(AND the pope knows, Only Trump will secure or do a damn thing about the open borders)

This is all media spin. Trump was misquoted by the press in a question to the Pope. The Pope made a hypothetical statement that was conditional on if what he was told was correct, and the media ran with it.

Now Trump is fighting the Pope and all because of the media.

Hey Mr Pope-

“How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Luke 6:42

[gcraig]

That is an extremely cool graphic.

[eartick]

Not coward, smart and the correct thing to do. You do not stick your nose into other peoples business. Maybe you do and I wonder just who do you support?

[Sacajaweau]

But wait Ted....So that must mean you’re not going for a wall...and you no longer claim the wall as your idea.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

The word wrong does not begin to describe this. That man has no right to meddle in our political process. Ever.

[Sacajaweau]

He’s a friggin’ communist through and through.

[who knows what evil?]

What about the walls in Israel, ‘your holiness’...

[Ex-Pat in Mex]

The Vatican is surrounded by walls. Is the Pope trying to confess about his true religious beliefs?

[Sasparilla]

This Pope is the most bizarre ever. Rush said today that it used to be when someone talked about Popes and bears and said ‘ Is the Pope Catholic?,’ it used to be just rhetorical. He is right.
