Pope John Paul defied and challenged actual Communist dictators while Francis embraces them!
Not only did he accept, as a gift, a communist desecrated crucifix, but he wore one around his neck.

U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is 'not Christian' because of his views on immigration, Pope Francis said on his way back to Rome from Mexico. The pope said, however, he did not want to advise American Catholics on whether or not to vote for Trump. In a freewheeling conversation with reporters on his flight back from a visit to Mexico, Francis was asked about Trump and some of his statements, such as vowing to build a wall between the United States and Mexico if he becomes president.

I think if you read through this thread, you can see the outrage of many Catholics.
Dear Mr Pope-
Stuff it.

This is like the corrupt. LA Times. What this guy says has no business in breaking news. This article needs to be in the religion section.
Too bad Trump wants the same people to "come back rapidly" as legal immigrants, isn't it?
Yeah, I know, you still can't figure out or admit that you've been had. I guess your desperate ego matters more than what kind of country we pass on to our children.
Thank you so much for the link I had not read or even heard of her!! I will start keeping up with her writings!!! A breath of fresh air!!! Much needed fresh air!!!
Amen, come quickly, Lord Jesus. Things could get very, very bad just because we won’t be here for the Tribulation. American believers have been blessed, but that blessing is being removed. Believers worldwide have been persecuted and killed before we ever get as far as the Tribulation, which we won’t be here for. But that doesn’t say that things couldn’t become very, very bad for Christians everywhere, before the Rapture.
It seems to me that the Pope, who lives in Vatican City—which is surrounded entirely by a 50ft wall that has a rather large door—attacked Trump first by inserting himself into the US political process.
Now, I find it quite ironic that a man who routinely is protected by a wall finds fault with a man who proposed building a similar wall.
With due respect..... F the Pope
Noncitizens can’t set up residence ANYwhere in Bermuda or in Sweden, for that matter, without approval (and volumes of paperwork!).
” . . . [But most of the city is off-limits to the general public.” Like the publicly owned District of Columbia?
The walls shown in your model are as they were originally built, not what exists today.

Trump wants them to come back LEGALLY not rapidly!!! Coming back legally is not a rapid process!!! It won’t matter anyway with all of our businesses going to Mexico they will probably just decide to stay there!! Of course they will have to work and not get all of their free stuff from their government!!!
I’m hoping for Jesus’ return before that happens.
The Pope is supposed to represent Catholics.
Then again maybe the question is:
Is the Pope Catholic?
I don’t think a wall is a good idea either how about a mine field 10 miles deep.Lets see how many people come across that border then.
Yes, this Catholic is having a lot of inner turmoil. I’ve been through this before with our Amercan Church, and only returned a few years ago. I pray a lot, and did also through my self-imposed exile. However, I missed Mass. I missed the Eucharist. Those gifts are worth going back for, and not abandoning. I feel certain that there are some priests who are greatly dismayed by the proclamations of this pope.
I would not proselytize against Catholics here
My own family is about one quarter Catholic and my wife is half Catholic
Catholics who leave usually go apathetic about faith in general much like Jews abandon Judaism
Some go evangelical which makes sense to me
Southern Baptist like me or even more praise oriented sects and Charismatics tend to eschew cultural liberalism in a big way
If you wish to stay close to a more historical church there is always Orthodox
Their priests marry, they’ve fought Islam even more than Catholics and their doctrine us conservative
That’s where I’d go if I wanted a patriarch historical sect

Americans MUST be attacked from all sides for having the audacity to believe they could chose their own leader.
Yep and Israel as well.
Superb!
Yeah there is a wall and heavy duty security.
This POPE is fing nuts, and should not be injecting his views into international politics.
Christianity does not mean one cannot have a SOVEREIGN nation. A national identity and value of a national citizenship.
This is left wing Jesuitical crapola from this leftie socialist one-worlder... speaking in the land of the last attempt by Catholic monarchies to take over the New World (as in Maximillian executed by firing squad). This guy is playing to the Aztlan loonies who play to the very Indios and indigenous peoples who were enslaved by the Catholic monarchs of Spain to extract gold and silver to their coffers and to line the bottom of the ocean with sunken galleons. That was the same Church supporting and supported by this. Such is history, continuing.
