Here’s the difference between me and the Pope: I believe the Bible to be completely true and he does not.

The Pope was wrong for attack Trump, but running his mouth might be the lesser of his sins since the Vatican announced last week that bishops don’t have to report the molestation and rape of children by priests to law enforcement.

“Here’s the difference between me and the Pope: I believe the Bible to be completely true and he does not.”

You’re wrong. He believes it to be completely true. He just doesn’t believe it to all be literal. You don’t either. You believe there is use of metaphor and symbolic language in scripture.

“The Pope was wrong for attack Trump,”

He said a particular way of acting - which Trump did not in fact do - is not Christian. What kind of an attack on Trump is that? https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2016/02/19/what-the-pope-did-and-didnt-mean-when-he-said-trump-was-not-a-christian/

“but running his mouth might be the lesser of his sins since the Vatican announced last week that bishops don’t have to report the molestation and rape of children by priests to law enforcement.”

And that too is false. “Papal commission: Bishops must report sex abuse charges” : http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2016/02/15/papal-commission-bishops-must-report-sex-abuse-charges/

The real difference here is not between the pope and Trump but between you and reality. Stop typing out crap you have no idea about and actually read some reputable sources instead. You would save yourself some embarrassment by doing that.
