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

Hey Pope, Judge not lest you be judged.

He’s already trashed Trump on multiple occasions during the campaign. His sudden desire for prudence rings hollow.

Pope Francis, we don’t care what you think about Trump. Get the beam outta your own eye and life before you worry about the mote in Trump’s eye/life.

Your Holiness, your essential duty is not to sit on a golden throne high in the clouds, casting scornful judgement down upon our heads. Weren’t you just last year telling us about how insignificant, humble and unassuming you were, and that you would walk the walk of modesty, teaching through example?
I could be mistaken. Many of your most ‘popular’ statements are cleverly woven, and can be interpreted in many ways.

This stupid, very LEFTY "Pope" is destroying the Catholic church, but he imagines that he has the "powers" of a Pope 7 centuries ago! LOL

The Pope can't excommunicate President Trump....The Donald isn't Catholic!

The Pope can't excommunicated the entire American populace! Most aren't Catholics and besides which I doubt that many of America's Catholics care much for what this Pope says/does anyway.

The Pope can't make war against the USA.....which would be futile anyway.

Instead, this Pope better worry about just WHAT the Muslims in Italy have planned for him and the Vatican as a whole!

“Francis warned against seeking a savior in times of crisis.”

What, you mean like the lefty radicals you love so much offer every time an election comes up?

I remember Obama’s almost blasphemous acting 8 years ago.

This year is the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. Give thanks for it. Like any bloated human institution and bureaucracy, the Roman Catholic Church should not enjoy monopoly status, but there should be competing Christian denominations to guard against corruption and give the laity choices.

The left often cites a partial verse out of context when it wants to stop folks from judging them.

Speaks volumes no one on the left brings that up now.

Who is this guy to judge anything and tell this foreign POS to stop meddling in our elections. This idiot should move to Cuba where he fits in better, he is just a “male” version of Rosie or Madonna only with a funny hat that he shouldn’t even be wearing. He is a one man wrecking ball for the Catholics, and I am so sick of these anti-American pompus turds like this Pope. He can go to hell. Old Commie brat with a funny hat.

As Joe Stalin said: “How many Divisions has the Pope?”....

Although this guy has much more in common with Stalin than he does with Pius XI.

Francis your mass on our border did NOT help Hillry win. You have no credentials to be judging anyone.

My relationship with Catholicism is not in any way affected by this clown.
