The Pope: Trump's Not a Christian
Rush Limbaugh ^ | 2/18/2016 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 02/18/2016 1:31:43 PM PST by GilGil

RUSH: Trump brought up a good point. He said, "When has the pope ever questioned the faith of another private citizen?" And, folks... By the way, folks, don't anybody... Don't anybody...

I'm just warning you here: Don't anybody ask about the president's religion! Don't even get close to going there. Don't do it. That is a forbidden area. You cannot even ask about it. The pope can go ahead and claim that Trump is not a Christian, but you can't go there when we talking about the president of the United States. Trump wants to know, has the pope ever questioned Obama's faith? Has the pope ever questioned any other private citizen's faith?

Has he questioned the faith of the Castro brothers? Has the pope questioned the faith of any communist leaders? He spends a lot of time in communist countries.

Has he ever said that Mao Tse-tung, that Fidel Castro, that Raul Castro, any other communist is not a Christian? Why Donald Trump? 'Cause Trump wants to build a wall? Have you seen the Vatican wall? I got a picture here I could show you on the Dittocam if I had the time and where it is. It's over 50-feet high. It's over 50-feet high. It's not even the kind of wall Trump's talking about building...

"The pope also broke with his predecessors by suggesting that Catholic lawmakers are free to vote for same-sex marriage and civil unions." Folks, I'm sure you in this audience understand. This is why I have been trying to make the case or state my belief that the fundamental matter of importance is defeating the Democrat Party.

Well then Cruznadians need to tweak their brand of conservatism because the pope is their leader! Cruz as a pope mini-me needs to bless us with his wisdom in these matters.

I find it ironic: the day after James Dobson endorses Cruz, the Popester turns Two Corinthians Trump into St. Donald of Queens, patron saint of victims of illegal immigirant crime.

Please refer to Rush’s comments. Trump has a right to respond, and his response was milder than usual. He blamed the Pope’s remarks on the Mexican Government.

I had no idea it’s the pope who is going to judge me on judgment day.

And if this pope ever read the Bible he’d have heard about “Judge not yet ye also be judged.”

Trump true to form is now hogging all the international oxygen. The British people are already protesting with pro-Trump signs. Trump is simply amazing.

I am all for Cruz, but Right is Right here.

both Trump and Rush are right here. The pope is not conservative, and there is nothing absolutely nothing unchristian about protecting the country with a wall at the borders. I couldn’t be more disappointed with the pope when he visited the US and joined with the democrats and the illegal alien issue.

This Pope is disgusting and I can’t help but think this nonsense will hurt the Church.

Maybe, but today I am forced to ask, “Which is more likely, the Pope is a Christian, or Donald Trump is a Christian?” Seems like a toss-up right now.

Nevertheless, Trump’s retort was equally ill advised and will cost him

Wow, haven't heard that one before. This will only help Trump, especially with Christians who aren't crazy about Catholicism in general and this Pope specifically. Trump proudly declared himself to be a Christian. The Pope actually did Trump a favor by giving him the opportunity to declare his faith and declare his intention to defend Christianity. Thanks Pope!

Indeed, about half (52%) of all U.S. adults who were raised Catholic have left the church at some point in their lives. A significant minority of them returned, but most (four-in-ten of all those raised Catholic) have not.

When I was a child in the 60s all of my mother’s holiness friends were afraid Kennedy was going to make everyone worship in the Catholic Church. (Ignorant people voting has been the case for many years.)

Those of my mother’s faith also believed all Catholics were going to hell because they’re afraid of water.

What about the priests who raped children? Were they Christian?
