Madrid (AFP) - Pope Francis warned against populism, saying it could lead to the election of "saviours" like Hitler.
In an hour-long interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais conducted as Donald Trump was being sworn in as US president, the pontiff also condemned the idea of using walls and barbed wire to keep out foreigners.
"Of course crises provoke fears and worries," he said but added that for him "the example of populism in the European sense of the word is Germany in 1933.
"Germany... was looking for a leader, someone who would give her back her identity and there was a little man named Adolf Hitler who said 'I can do it'."
"Hitler did not steal power," the pope said. "He was elected by his people and then he destroyed his people."
The Germans at that time also wanted to protect themselves with "walls and barbed wire so that others cannot take away their identity," he said.
"The case of Germany is classic," he said, adding that Hitler gave them a "deformed identity and we know what it produced."
Pope Francis however underscored that it was too early to pass judgement on Trump.
"Let's see. Let's see what he does and then we will evaluate," he said.

So the pope is joining in the “Hitler” thing. He is unfit to be pope and must resign.
You know, for once, this picture is appropriate:
Hitler was version 1.0 of the globalist movement. He intended to forcefully create a one-world socialist government.
Hitler was a globalist to the nth degree and believed in “Lebensraum”. His trade mark was lightning warfare and occupation. This Pope is a stupid misguided a$$hole. Yeah, I said it.
SJWs always lie.
SJWs always project.
SJWs always double down.
Which by application, means the Pope is like Hitler. Given his embrace of Muslims (much as Hitler did), and his questionable treatment of homosexual priests, doesn't look too good for him.
Besides, everyone knows Hitler invaded most of the rest of Europe, and rounded up most of their Jewish population, to send the Jews back to Israel until they could get their Green Cards.
And people want me to take this church seriously......
The pope is making a mockery of the church he le as ds.
If the Catholic Church can overcome pedophilia it can survive this douche wad Pontiff.
Pope should just keep his yappy trap shut! Waiting for a lightning-bolt from heaven any time...
This Pope is a Leftist FAR, FAR, FAR more than he is a Christian, no matter what the Roman Catholic Cardinals thought they were doing in naming him their pope.
I don’t intend to insult any of our Catholic members, but that “pope’ is unhinged and dangerous!
And speaking of “Hitler”....he is the one that is sort of the dictator of the Catholic church. JS....
I’m not a catholic and most of it I don’t get anyway but I miss John Paul II.
What a fool.
I’m sure he has no problem though with the idiots elected in his beloved South America.
...I'm still here btw!
Tell me about it, I can’t believe half the crap he says. Either he’s an extremely naive stupid person or he has some other agenda going on here.
I can’t find any comments by this Pope against the junta in Argentina when he was there and they were killing opponents and waging war in the Falklands.
If this pope were around in 1980, he would be saying the same things towards Reagan and Thatcher.
Right on. Such an odd situation.
Wow! First, he’s hated. Then, he’s the next Hitler via populism. Which is it?
Did they ever take the whole populism idea and use it with Obama? That would have fit better.
Not digging this pope much these days.
The Pope is a big globalist and sees Climate Change as a big power and money grab for the UN over the West. Trump would not be his favorite. (Not to mention his commitment to a total Muslim invasion of the West.)
