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.

The current pope is the anti-John-Paul II.

” all of these things are happening for a reason.’

Well, things have to happen or there’d be ... nothing.

It’s 2016, everyone knows that if you’re a white man the only Christian thing you can do is put your orange jump suit on and place your neck on the block.

Did His Holiness suggest anything about Obama’s Christianity?

That’s Ok, I don’t believe this Pope is anything but a socialist stooge, so his opinion of Trump is not one I will be using to make my decision.

Well, it is, actually. A walled conglomeration of vast richness unparalleled. Controllable only by those invested in their own desires and goals irrespective of scripture. It is really all about the money, IMO.

Has he even ever read the Word of God?

From the Letter to the Two Corintians. "Blessed are the Democrats, for they shall Fully Fund public education and absolve us of all our inequalities."

So for sodomites its “Who am I to judge” but someone who takes his country’s sovereignty seriously is “not a Christian?”

Will this pope lead to a modern day Luther?

I was wondering about that.

Francis seems to be like Krugman. He’ll deliver a well thought out theological argument absent specifics but the moment he tries to apply it the argument falls apart because his ideology overules his academic rigor.
