Many protestant denominations are also struggling with the infiltration of leftism into their church leadership, to the consternation of many in their congregation, so it’s unfortunately not a problem that’s restricted to just the catholic church.

The Vatican has a nice wall around it.

Only Trump has the balls to say this. What American politician would?

The current Pope is a universalist socialist.

Do the big hat!!

This false prophet is in line with the devils of our time.

Suits him though, he was a bartender or bouncer in his youth.

You want a Pope, John Paul.

Did John Paul have a mass at the US border playing Moses parting the sea, I mean border?

Trump’s statement will definitely play real well with SC Evangelicals. Papal infallibility to many of us is “I am smarter and better than you”.

Very Arrogant. The real reason they don’t want to stop illegals is the church attendance is down sharply in one generation. And the plate has to be filled, separating the poor from their money.

Very true. We simply can’t deal with the existential problems our country faces without dispensing with the PC narratives that have enabled the problems in the first place. To quote Trump, we don’t have time for political correctness. Trump gets it.

Their plate gets filled directly from the US Treasury via charities. The in house donations are the icing on their cake.

Good point. This will help him in SC. The current Catholic church reminds me of the current Republican party in many ways. They’ve both become cynical, worldly, and divorced from the ideals they claim to stand for.

Concur.

Organized religion is big business in our country.

I keep my faith private, believer.

That was nation building, old worn out principal.

Martin Luther had it right, the original one.

I agree with Trump on this one and I am Catholic. The Pope has been extremely political.

The Pope endorsed the Iran deal.

Global Warming
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/09/23/pope-francis-wades-into-u-s-politics/

The Pope told Europe to take in the Syrian refugees. Europe is being destroyed.

Exactly what is a practicing Catholic? Some of my in-laws never miss a mass. And some have spent their entire life, in Catholic churches and schools.. No way anyone can tell them they are not a practicing Catholic.

Can not NOT support birth control and abortion, contribute to it by voting in any lawmaker who provides access, funding, availability to abortion, thereby participating in the destruction of the family, promotion of the culture of death, extramarital sex and killing of innocents and be Catholic. Doesn’t matter how many times they desecrate the Eucharist by going to Holy Mass and taking communion while in mortal sin

It only makes it worse

I have no credibility with them because I am not Catholic... I do see them far less now, as I am finding it harder and harder to keep my mouth zipped.

there is a big beautiful wall dividing the Vatican from the rest of Rome to protect it from invaders.. if you haven’t been there in person take a tour on Google Earth street level...
