The socialist said what was in his heart. Haven't yet found a translation of his speech yet, can't wait to read that.

That’s the whole press thing on the plane back to Rome, not a speech. The part about Trump a reporter asked:
“Today you spoke a lot and eloquently about the problem of immigrants. On the other side of the border there is an electoral campaign that is rather hard. One of the candidates for the White House, Donald Trump, in a recent interview said that you are a political man, and indeed perhaps a pawn of the Mexican Government when it comes to the policy of immigration. He said that if he were elected president he would build a 2,500-km wall along the border. He wants to deport 11 million illegal immigrants and, in that way separating families and so on. I would therefore like to ask, first of all, what you think of those charges against you, and if an American Catholic could vote for a person like this?
Thank God he said I am a politician because Aristotle defined the human person as an ‘animal politicus’ [a political animal]. So at least I am a human person. As to whether I am a pawn, well, maybe, I don’t know. I’ll leave that up to your judgement and that of the people. And then, a person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the gospel. As far as what you said about whether I would advise to vote or not to vote, I am not going to get involved in that. I say only that this man is not Christian if he says things like that. We must see if he said things in that way and in this I give the benefit of the doubt.”

As a resident of El Paso area, I am grateful that the event happened without the Cartel having gang fights as they had threatened to do.
It is not unusual for rounds fired in Juarez to injure people in E P.
It is a royal mess.
In your photo posted, at least those were empty crosses and not crucifixes with Jewish-Americans strung up.
(FOUR crosses?)
I'd like to see the original transcript...its not like the Pope was speaking Chinese.
I'd also like to know the name of the journalist and the publication he works for, as I suspect this question was planted.
Somewhere along the line, Pope Francis decided that he could make this an earthly paradise instead of the one in heaven. He seems to have forgotten that Man is a flawed creature and cannot by definition create a paradise on earth no matter how hard he tries. Our history tells us of humanity’s failures over millenia. The hubris of this Pope is he thinks he can. The problem is that you cannot attach more and more unproductive and uneducated parasites to the healthy host. The host (United States) will sicken and eventually die. So will the parasites and the resulting chaos will see he deaths of millions in the ensuing fallout. By that time, Pope Francis will have gone to heaven for God’s judgment.
