POPE ON TRUMP: ANYONE WHO WANTS BORDER WALLS ISN'T CHRISTIAN
BY NICOLE WINFIELD
ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) -- Pope Francis said Thursday that Donald Trump is "not Christian" if he intends to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border. Trump immediately fired back, saying it is disgraceful for a religious leader to question a person's faith.
Trump, a leading U.S. Republican presidential candidate, has promised to build a wall along the Mexican border from Texas to California and expel 11 million people who are in the country illegally if elected president. The Pope's comments en route home from Mexico came hours after he prayed at the Mexico-U.S. border for people who died trying to reach the United States.
"A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian," Francis said. "This is not in the Gospel."

Well, it ex my cathedra!
Does that count?
LOL
Did he say this about Mexico on Mexico’s Southern border?
The Pope is not Christian. If he was, he’d take Mecico and South America to the vatican.
I want walls just like those that surround the Vatican. I am a Christian. Pope has become just another rat politician.
Massive hypocrite is right.
Mexican wall is bad. But his 50’ wall around the Vatican is good.
Pedophiles are bad. But bishops don’t have to report pedophile priests.
Birth control is bad. But it’s okay if you live in a place with Zika virus.
Church rules must be obeyed. But US immigration rules do not have to be obeyed.
There must be separation of church and states. But it’s okay if the pope calls a presidential candidate a non-christian.
The Pope’ll be found dead before the Vatican City walls come down.
Yes, Trump may want to duplicate it because it has kept people out of the Vatican for centuries.
Go figure. I'm almost 63 yrs old, and all this time I thought I was Catholic.

This was not only a shot at Trump but at all European leaders who want to close their borders. At least we know Jews aren’t Christians......yet.
