Pope - you lost your moral authority. You are not a pope, you are a political activist. And did you condemn the Castros and Maduro for the pain and suffering they brought on their people?
The Pope is having quite a day isn’t he?
Pope...... you are a communist political activist
In honor of Joshua and the Battle of Jericho.....
Trump fit the Battle of the Vatican, and its walls came a’tumblin’ down....
Out of respect for Catholic FReepers and to avoid any misunderstanding, I’ll just keep my thoughts about this to myself.
Francis tried to rip Trump.

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.

This Pope is left of Sanders and that is very heard to do.
he should be ripping his catechism rather than capitalism
Sadly, there is nothing new in having a Roman pontiff meddling in the affairs of civil governance. That was one of the causes of the Reformation and reasons why so many supported it. The Counter Reformation forcibly (that is, with the use of naked power, which is the province of government not the church) coerced many into at least superficial obedience. In other words, papal power has never been too shy about the use of the power of the sword, which instrument God gave to civil government only, not to ecclesiastical government. So when the current pope says that the building of a wall is “not the gospel,” he is right. But the proclamation of the gospel is not the task of government! It is the task of the church, which he, Francis I, by blathering about things political/governmental, is failing to do. He is neglecting the prime duty of the church to meddle in affairs that are not his business. Let catholics consider carefully what they are seeing and hearing.
So, again, there is nothing new here. But it remains as sad and shameful now as it was in the time of the Reformation and the centuries that followed.
I don’t pay attention to anything this popes says on matters of economics and politics, and I am a Catholic.
It could back fire. I am not a Trump fan but I suggest this could push voters to Trump standing up against this hypocrite.
...and I don’t pay attention to anything this pope says about science.
I agree.
How can a guy touring poor nations, not see the benefits of a system that lifts most of it’s citizens out of poverty.
Those it doesn’t, are generally those that destroy themselves too.
The Pope is too busy trying to find a boogie-man behind every U. S. dollar.
He sure doesn’t mind raking it in from those who live in that Capitalist hell hole though.
Now you know what Episcopalians have been dealing with...it just sucks. Especially at this time of year.
I always wonder how Marxists think we went from enslaved farmers to everyone with a smartphone without free enterprise?
it’s much less boxey then i remebered :). their “fences” get better, harder and higher, while ours...
The American Catholic Church MUST repudiate this Pope or the US should tax the living crap out of it. Failing that, declare the Catholic Church hostile to the interests of the United States.
When the busybody pope tears down the wall around the Vatican, and welcomes the muslin hoards, he can have something to say. In the meantime, STFU.
