Pope Francis: 'Building Walls Means Condemning Yourself to Death'
TownHall.com ^ | 9-26-2019 | Timothy Meads

Posted on 09/30/2019 6:20:29 PM PDT by Drago

The leader of the Roman Catholic Church met with a group of Jesuits from Mozambique, Portugal, and Zimbabwe in early September to discuss political and religious issues. The conversation occurred on September 5, but a transcript of the discussion was released on Thursday. During the talk, Pope Francis warned of xenophobia and populism.

"Xenophobia and aporophobia today are part of a populist mentality that leaves no sovereignty to the people. Xenophobia destroys the unity of a people, even that of the people of God," the pope said.

Has the Pope heard that we are all condemned to death? But I hear there may be a way to choose Life over Death. Do you think the Pope would have any interest in learning about that? Naaaaaaaaaah, probably not.

Half of what he says makes no sense (he seems to be into phobias at the moment) and the other half is flaming heresy.

I assume he’s reading this from the Book of Nehemiah.

When mankind unified to build the Tower of Babel, wasn’t it God who confounded their plans by altering their languages and scattering them across the world? Who is this pope who oppose God’s plan?
