Pope Francis says he’ll wait to see what U.S. President Donald Trump does before forming an opinion about him.

In an interview published Saturday evening by Spanish newspaper El Pais, Francis says he doesn't like “judging people early. We’ll see what Trump does.”

Asked about populist-style political leaders emerging in the United States and Europe, Francis warned against seeking a savior in times of crisis. …

Yo, Francis, you’re the one who asked the question, “Who am I to judge”, so pardon me if I don’t care what you think now or later.

[entropy12]

IDGAF what you think, living in a house surrounded by 30 feet wall.

[Paladin2]

El Commie Papa. This will not end well.

...and what if WE judge the Pope on his miserable performance thus far? Can WE judge? Can HE judge?

It appears the Church is trying to refocus the message towards where the new & future donations are coming from???

Pope: I'll judge Trump after we see what he does

You'll judge NOTHING, Pope Pepe.

God judges, not YOU.

[Netz]

...and what group would be donating the majority of funds?

[anton]

I’ll judge the pope right now- Pope is a nutball.

[KSCITYBOY]

As a former Catholic I’ll say that the current Pope is a real wackadoodle.

[impimp]

By what theology do you come to the conclusion that “God judges, not you”? Man judges...the only thing man can’t judge on is the fate of an eternal soul.

[ScottinVA]

Yo, “pope.”

You’re not Trump’s “judge.” God is.. so piss off.

[trebb]

That’s nice - if religious leaders concentrate on Jesus instead of political issues, then they will have a lot more credibility...

Lazamology.

[JonPreston]

I’ve already judged this socialist Pope, so I’m good.

[poconopundit]

Hey, Frankie...

Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

Matthew 7:3

[GOPJ]

WOW. The Pope’s willing to wait another week before he starts trashing Trump? Yeah, I’m totally charmed.

[Steven Tyler]

I thought did not know God delegated the task of Judging others

[redfreedom]

This jackass is to the Catholic church what obama was to America. (it’s so good to say “was” when talking about obama)

[Obbiee]

I guess that is fair since I have already judged him. Nothing the Pope says will impact my thinking. He has already come down on the far left.

[exPBRrat]

LOL... We already have a pretty good idea what our peronista Pope will say.
