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".

I can’t take either of these guys seriously. Put them in a cage together and pop some popcorn.
I wasn’t knocking Trump, I’m sure he’d say the same about Ted if given a chance.
I’m sure the pope will be happy to declare that Bernie’s faith is not Christian.
Tear down that wall and bring in the migrants! As many as you can cram into Vatican City - it can be the ultimate sanctuary city!
Yowser! I don’t think Mr. Trump’s wall was going to be this high! Maybe The Vatican will give him ideas! The wall just got 20 feet higher!
He’s the most beloved figure in the world, with millions of adoring followers who worship the very ground he walks on.
What was the Pope thinking?
The Pope is not singling out Donald Trump...he would not do that. He is talking globally, not just the US and he is talking in very broad terms from a Christian point of view. It is the media who is stirring the pot here. They are in bed with the elites and view Mr. Trump as a threat...which he is...to their corrupt power.
And the Pope knows it. In other words, the Pope knows that Cruz won't build a wall, despite Cruz saying in one or more debates, parroting Trump, that he would build a wall.
Only Trump Will Build A Wall, the Pope Agrees
This is the least favorite of all the popes in my lifetime.
Wouldn’t it be great if Catholics organized a BBB movement?
Bring Back Benedict!
