The Pope was wrong for saying what he did.

Nevertheless, Trump’s retort was equally ill advised and will cost him. One unequivocal and irrevocable rule.....Never get into a pi$$ing match with the Pope.

Trump’s response was strong. Something rare with politicos.

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.

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!

The pope needs to mind his own business-and his business is matters of religion-not politics. Maybe no one told him this is not the middle ages when popes were the last word in the affairs of kings and countries-he needs to be called out again and again until he learns to stay out of politics.

I see that I’m not the only Catholic here who is of that opinion, either-good-many of us realize that pope Francis was brought up in a communist country where the Church is only allowed to exist unmolested as long as preaches what the government says to preach-his knowledge of what goes on in a free country is between slim and none...
