The Pope has questioned US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's Christianity over his call to build a border wall with Mexico.
Pope Francis said "a person who thinks only about building walls... and not of building bridges, is not Christian".
The New York businessman supports deporting nearly 11 million undocumented immigrants.
Calling himself a "proud Christian", Mr Trump blamed Mexico for the Pope's remarks, calling them "disgraceful".

Now that Pope Francis has gotten involved in our politics, does that mean that the whole catholic church loses their tax exempt status?
I notice Vatican City is enclosed within a secure wall.When the POPO tears down his own walls and invites 40,000 Mooselimb rapeugees to live with him then by his own standards ill believe he is a christian
let the crackhead pope reach into his BILLIONS and pay for the economic and social and criminal costs of the OPEN BORDER....
MIND YOUR SPIRITUAL DUTIES POPPA
and leave your marxist ideas to yourself.........
He never mentioned Trump at all. Trump appears to believe it is about him, rightly or wrongly.
I think it’s pretty obvious....
At least since last July.
The pope supports Muslim terrorism and abortion and homo’s he is a laughable Liberal and besides the real elected Pope is sitting up in the Vatican attic don’t forget Benedict, Trump should remind people and start a bring back Benedict movement...
But I guess that's what you get when the Pope is a Marxist.
Papa would just love bernie
The Pope made a grievous error. If he had legitimate concerns about Trump’s religiosity, he should have counselled him in private. It is strange that throughout his time with Obama, the most vile advocate and supporter of abortion ever to be President, the Pope said nothing in public and his demeanor seemed to be friendly and cheerful. Also he expressed no objection or displeasure that at the reception Obama held at the White House, the guest list was dominated by homosexuals, transgenders and people who supported gay marriage. The Pope if anything has enhanced Trump’s political standing and this crude political ambush will not only fail but will diminish the Pope’s reputation as an honorable man.
WRONG! He mentioned Donald Trump by name. First and last. This was directed at Trump and only at Trump.
LOL!
I'm supporting Trump but someone should tell him to stop referring to himself as a 'proud' Christian.
Good picture. But the hat is on the wrong end of the horse!!
"Pope Francis, tear down that wall!"
Pope Francis on Trump: “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not of building bridges, is not Christian”
Didn’t mention Trump?
Teddy Kennedy was a Roman Catholic, and had no problem getting a divorce and getting re married.
Pope hates Israel, is pro Fakestinian, guess its because Israel needs a wall to cut down on terrorism.
This is all about money and church attendance. Central and South American go to church and give money.
This Pope is from South America so he is looking out for them not America.
