In the aftermath of Pope Francis’ comments suggesting that a person who thinks only of building walls “is not a Christian,†celebrated evangelist Franklin Graham (pictured) has offered some Christian fraternal correction, reminding the pontiff of the importance of national security and that Donald Trump is not alone in advocating a wall.

Christians should try to build bridges with everyone but that doesn’t mean we should compromise national security.
Very well said.
Is His Holiness selling bridges now?
And have Mexico pay for it. Make sure it’s a BIG, BEAUTIFUL bridge.
Good fences make good neighbors...
Trump CAN make Mexico pay for it!
The Vatican is now trying to tell everyone that the Pope specifically referring to Trump as “not a Christian,” is not meant to in any way influence the vote.
Right.
That’s just rubbish and poppycock...and everyone knows it.
The fact is, if the Pope is serious about “walls” not being Christian, he can start by tearing down the physical wall that surrounds the Vatican. At least then we would be able to judge the sincerity of his words by his actions.
But that still would not mean that the US should not take actions, like the border fence, to control illegal immigration into the country.
Doing that is not unchristian...it is the fulfilling of the responsibilities as an elected official to uphold and sustain the law.
Thank God for Franklin Graham.
Marxists are wrong about so much. I can’t recall a time before when a pope was wrong about so much.
Bravo. Excellent point. This pope needs a few lessons about changing hearts of the people and not just propping up socialist and communist (castro) regimes who talk the talk while they let people rot.
The misrepresentation that only a wall was going to be built, in isolation and without regard to any other factor, was a very wrong assumption to start with. In The Donald’s “beautiful wall”, there would also be a “beautiful gate” through which all the honest applicants for entry must then pass through, where they must present their credentials and satisfy the admissions officer of their good intent.
Why do they have ticket booths at football stadiums? Not just to collect revenue, but to winnow and control the influx.
In the desert.
He’s a putz.
With this idiot Francis, I have never seen a pope so rapidly diminish Catholicism in my life to just another ambitious political institution. What the hell was going in in the College of Cardinals?
The Pope is wrong, Donald is very pro bridge; why he is trying to sell America the Brooklyn Bridge and close the deal in November.
Franklin Graham and his father have been about the only light in this country for these last years.
I have a new name for communist/socialist/FidelCastro, Pope Francis: it is “Forty-Eight Foot Wall, Pope Francis!!! What a moron Obama/Castro, buffoon this guy is!!! As a devout Roman Catholic....I am totally ashamed of my life long church!!! Hanging my head in shame!!!
It was all part of the globalist putsch.
*SMACK!*
