U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is 'not Christian' because of his views on immigration, Pope Francis said on his way back to Rome from Mexico. The pope said, however, he did not want to advise American Catholics on whether or not to vote for Trump. In a freewheeling conversation with reporters on his flight back from a visit to Mexico, Francis was asked about Trump and some of his statements, such as vowing to build a wall between the United States and Mexico if he becomes president.

One would guess the commie Pope is all for the commie Sanders. The Vatican is “walled” to protect its trillion dollar inventory and keep trespassers out. The Pope never speaks out about having hypocrite abortion loving politicians receive the Eucharist. Had it!

I’m for Cruz, but I will defend Trump against this papal attack. I’m an American first. The Pope should stay out of this.

I miss Benedict, and I’m convinced he did not step down voluntarily. He seems to still be in pretty good health.

That’s pretty cool. You can see over 300 years of evolving military science in those concentric walls.

if you don't vote for Ted Cruz, then you hate Jesus and America

Cruz put himself on a pulpit. Is he going to denounce what the Pope said?

“And this Pope isn’t Catholic”

You are right. He is a Jesuit.

Next move is yours, Trump.

Trump made his move, and checkmated the putzy pope. See reply #26 below yours.

"And here are some pics of Vatican City's massive walls. From the looks of the walls, I estimate them to be 36 to 40 feet tall."

This is a misleading headline.

Pope Francis started out by saying,

"A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian."

Asked specifically about Trump, Pope Francis said,

"I say only that "This man is not Christian if he has said things like that," Francis said. "We must see if he said things in that way and in this I give the benefit of the doubt."

I can fault Pope Francis for ambiguity, for equivocation --- and even for insinuation --- but the record shows he did not initiate an attack on Trump. Despite being egged-on by the press, he chose to give Trump "the benefit of the doubt."

The Pope and Obama - united in Liberation Theology, global Warming and every loony leftist looter scheme. Millions will die because of their pact with the devil.

Thanks for the picture. I have never seen the aerial view which explains a lot. The Vatican wall appears to be taller and thicker than the walls the Israelis use to keep their murderous neighbors out. I wish we had a wall on the Mexican’t border like this. Oh the Hyocrisy’, what a Philistine this pope is.

If Francis were Pope during the Crusades, Islam would be the most prominent “religion” in the world.

Pope Francis, tear down the Vatican walls and turn over the Holy See and the Catholic Church to Islamists and Marxists.

Yes, and watch what they to to those billions of dollars worth of artwork and those magnificent buildings. St. Peter's will make a lovely mosque, and the Vatican Museum will make a wonderful pile of rubble.

Figuratively, Francis has already done this.
