No offense to Catholics but this “pope” needs a swift kick in the rear.

Remember folks, when this great nation was formed by the Founding Fathers, we became a stench to religio-politic leaders, because the Founders exalted THE INDIVIDUAL and his personal responsibility to Deity over the religious State.

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

See the Dope from behind is Vatican Wall.

Just a thought. Doesn’t the Catholic Church run boarding schools in many problem countries? Like that one in Africa where the girls were abducted, many of them still not found after all these years.

Wrong. It’s not immoral, and the pope is an a$$ for not finding out that this is the same policy as under bammy.
We have a fake pope.

Check out the Pope’s border policy.

It is more immoral than President Trump’s.

******************************************************

Pope accused of ignoring 120 asylum seekers taking refuge in the Basilica despite saying church must be ‘the first port of call’ for migrants

He promised that the Vatican would throw open its convents and monasteries as shelters, while saying that the church must be ‘the first port of call’ for migrants.

But Pope Francis is seemingly remaining silent in the face of a group of 50 immigrant families, who have taken shelter in his favourite church in Rome.

Around 120 migrants, including 15 children, have been occupying Santa Maria Maggiore, the giant basilica where Francis goes to seek guidance before every major endeavour, for more than a week.

The group, from Algeria, Morocco, Ukraine as well as Romania, have requested asylum from the Vatican after being evicted from their squat in Torre Spracata, a district in south-eastern Rome by Italian authorities.

A letter to the Pope asking for help began: ‘Dear Francis, we are men, women and children, inhabitants of Rome and citizens of Planet Earth.

‘We ask that you make yours the wounds that we carry, that you grant us as human beings who have been persecuted, harassed and humiliated by the Italian State, political asylum.’

But after eight days they have heard nothing.

The church which is officially Vatican territory like all of the four great Basilicas of Rome shuts to parishioners and pilgrims at 8pm every night whereupon the group lay out their beds on its marble floors.

They rise at 5.30am and tidy their beds away before mass at 7am. During the day some go to work, while others attempt to sleep in an adjoining nave, or care for children playing in the car park.

Rome city council has offered the group accommodation, but they refused it because they say there is no electricity there and some of the inhabitants there have tuberculosis.

It is not the first time the church has been occupied. In February anti-austerity demonstrators in the Pitchfork Movement set up camp there saying they had urgent questions for Francis.

Don Angelo, one of the priests at the church, told La Repubblica: ‘The Basilica is beginning to feel the weight of their presence.

‘They are good people.... But unlike other churches we don’t have another room for parishioners or a space to put them in. This is a holy place that at night turns into a dormitory. ‘

How many “immigrants “ are allowed into the Vatican ? What percent of their immense wealth do they spend on immigrants to the Vatican ? Rich hypocritical losers.

As a (former?) Catholic, no need to preface your statements about the pope with an kind of apology.

I agree. No public monies for the Catholic Church or any religious institution. Period. End of Sentence.

I like Pope Francis. He’s brought down a lot of the orestebce that exists in the holy Ronan Catholic Church.

But until the walls of the Vatican come tumbling down and the great unwashed of Italy take up squatting in the square, Pope Francis has no business lecturing us on the borders of OUR country.

No critical thinking, no common sense.

Wrong is right, right is wrong.

Boils down to plain old evil.
