- We don't take orders from you. Come back when you excommunicate the liberal hypocrites in your church, then we'll talk.

Pope Francis made a thinly-veiled swipe at Donald Trump as the Pontiff defended Latino immigrants who came to America at 'great personal cost' during a moving speech to 40,000 followers in Philadelphia.
Francis called on migrants from Mexico and the rest of the world to 'not feel discouraged by all the challenges and hardships' they face, saying they should never feel ashamed of their own traditions.
The Pope's words come in direct contrast to Trump's calls for a wall to be built along the Mexican border and for stricter controls on who can enter the US.
Speaking from the lectern used by President Abraham Lincoln when he delivered the Gettysburg Address, Francis directly addressed America's Hispanic population, saying: 'Thank you for opening the doors. Many of you have emigrated. I greet you with my heart.
'Many of you came to this country at great personal cost, but in the hope of building a new life. Do not feel discouraged by all the challenges and hardships you might face. I ask you not to forget that, like those who came here before you, you bring many gifts to this new nation of yours.
'Please: do not feel ever ashamed of your traditions.'

He should have left days ago!
He was impressed as a youth by his home country, Argentina, granting asylum (a knowing wink from the Perons) to those “persecuted” and “chased” worldwide - such as Adolf Eichmann.
so why is the US responsibilities to take these people all in and not the rest of the Worlds
Why do we have to bear the burden.. if Papa is their father why is he not taking care of them why is he a deadbeat dad dumping him on the US?... I’m tired of these hypocrites they never share the burden they just dump them on US..
where is Mexicofollowing in the Golden Rule in treating US like they want to be treated
hypocriteyour hypocrite Mexico they have prepared rest well you they are hypocrites
media lies once again. I really don’t buy in to this.
The Pope of the NWo can buzz off.
None of his business.
Their traditions have kept the in abject poverty for 400
years, yeah!!!!! What is to to like?
As I recall there was this once popular tradition of ripping a persons still beating heart out.
What is that saying about dead fish and visitors?
Is he still here?? He’s worse than Obozo..
I am so sick of the coverage given. So many are deceived. Will be glad when this is over.
Maybe SoPo should tear down the Vatican wall...and invite these *migrants* to live with him. Be the example.
The Pope is our guest and rudely bashes us. No manner, no class. He sounds like a propaganda tool for Marxists.
Trying to promote Trump, even with negative publicity?
I can’t stand Pope Francis, but if Trump believes that the Pope was thinking about him, his ego is even bigger than that of Pope Francis (who has an ego even bigger than Obama’s ).
For an entertainer, there’s no such thing as bad publicity. And Trump is an entertainer.
hey pontiff- practice what you preach...tell your home nation Argentina to open their doors to illegals you POS...
They invited (2) whole families to the Vatican.
You and me both;)
He is cozying up to despots and endorsing the breaking of laws to leech off of others. I can’t remember a time where I have been so discouraged as a Catholic. “I’m okay, you’re okay.” It seems that we are back to post-Vatican II liberalism.
I am tuning him out and placing my trust in God.
I only watch CNN now since fox went crazy. CNN has turned into pope TV. Is this a really disturbing Haiku like post?
