ABOARD THE PAPAL AIRLINER -- Inserting himself into the Republican presidential race, Pope Francis on Wednesday suggested that Donald J. Trump "is not Christian" because of the harshness of his campaign promises to deport more immigrants and force Mexico to pay for a wall along the border.
"A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian," Francis said when a reporter asked him about Mr. Trump on the papal airliner as he returned to Rome after his six-day visit to Mexico.

Agreed and thank you.
Welcome to Bizzaro.
Well...The Pope tells Trump to FO, and the trumpanzees fling more poo.
And I would say you don’t sound very Christian.
Anyone actually paying attention to this pope could reasonably make the same claim about him.
The Bible warns Christians to not take part in the sins of the world; in short you don’t build bridges with the world other than to try to witness Christ.
communism isn’t Christian either, Papa Ese.
How many refugees/illegals are now living in the Vatican?
I just thought of something. The Pope might be bringing out the non catholic vote.
Percent Religious 56.50% In South Carolina.
Catholic 7.67%
Baptist 12.86%
Episcopalian 4.27%
Pentecostal 1.28%
Lutheran 1.38%
Methodist 11.41%
Presbyterian 3.69%
Other Christian 11.76%
Asinine way to call out the Jews too, Your Holymess...
Disagreement does not equal hate.
I’m beinging to think people just don’t understand what the word hate means.
I give up.
I’m not sure the Pope is Catholic... or Christian.
>>This pope loves Islam and communism. Much like our President.
Islam, communism, and homosexuality: the holy trinity of the Left.
Francis would not judge a sodomite, but he will judge a person who believes that a nation should have a defined border.
"Pope Francis, tear down this wall!"
Trump isn’t my number 1, but I’m not sure that a guy that lives in an enclave that is surrounded by a wall is the best person to make the point he made. Trump calls the Pope a loser in 5, 4, 3....
How many Syrian refugees can we put Vatican City down for Mr. Pope? 20,000 or so?
This pope specializes in vague, garbled talk. Which is very unfortunate. But he did NOT say that Trump is not a Christian. Trump does not “ONLY” talk of building a wall between the USA and Mexico. Talks a lot about all the jobs he provides to Hispanics and the business he has done in / with Latin America.
It takes one to know one, Frannie.
When Trump is asked about this, he should simply and calmly respond “I’m just going to turn the other cheek on that. Next question.”
