According to the Pope, Trump and others aren't Christians, no matter what they profess, if they're not cool with our borders' having bigger holes than Rosie O'Donnell's pantyhose after she tried to high step a four-strand barbed wire fence.
Yes, apostates, you must, according to his Highness, green-light porous borders and sanctuary cities, and blow off the rule of law, if you wish to be tight with his supposed best buddy, The Lord Jesus Christ.
Oh, and I almost forgot, you should also eschew capitalism if you desire to be in the good graces of God, according to the Catholic's glory boy's version of hippie Jesus. Which, by the way, is in stark contrast with the Gospel's version of Christ, who condemned lazy stewards and gave major props to the industrious.
You know... in a perfect world of pixie dust, unicorns, Hello Kitties, free North Slope trip weed and endless Cabernet-on-tap, I'd be down with the pontiff's pontifications of unfettered, free-flowing borders; but sadly, no such world exists this side of the sweet by-and-by.
Unfortunately, here and now, we have to contend with lawless, evil bastards that prey upon "good Christians' " squishy, un-biblical stupidity like the smack that the Pope's dealing.
And, by the way, he's dealing it on a regular basis behind a wall that makes the fence around Stallone's abode look like a low-hurdle in the Special Olympics. Didn't Jesus once tell a religious leader who was being a wee bit hypocritical something like... "Physician, heal thyself"?
Speaking of Vatican City's ginormous wall, I believe it was rebuilt at the behest of Pope Leo IV in the 9th Century in order to protect Christians from Muslim invaders. So, which Pope should we poor dupes obey? I'm going with Leo over Francis. What about you? Anyway...
In the spirit of Kum-ba-ya-ness, I challenge Mr. Pope to begin the immediate removal of his mondo wall around Vatican City and roll out the red carpet for the "poor Muslim refugees" from Syria. Either that, or cease preaching to us about how we should conduct our business.
Lastly, I bet there are many others like me who take umbrage with the Pope's acid test of being a Christian based upon being pro-open borders.
I'm pretty certain that the parents of Kate Steinle, a beautiful young woman who was murdered by an illegal alien, aren't too impressed with the Pope's point of view.
I'm also guessing that those who have been the victims of the 611,234 crimes committed in Texas alone from 2008-2014, including nearly 3000 homicides and thousands of sexual assaults, are also not too tickled with the Liberation Theologian's exhortations to build a bridge for more of this lawless, godless rabble to waltz on in, willy-nilly.
Open borders is suicidal, and suicide is a sin.
According to the Cruz Sanhedrin, I’m going to hell already....
Oh well!
To Grampa Dave: *PING* with that hilarious graphic of the wall you posted...
Christians are supposed to have discernment too and protect their flocks from harm. The invaders are preying on our compassion as a weakness to gain a strategical landhold to overtake us and subjugate our lands. I think God would think we are using poor judgment by letting those in who won’t work be fed or the above.
The arguments against closed/controlled borders are purely political. Every single opponent goes home and locks their doors at night. When they throw a party at their home, they limit the guest list. The concept is well understood by everyone, but they don’t argue based on logic or natural truth.
Dear Pope,
Tear Down this WALL!!!
When the vatican opens its gates...................
No it doesn’t mean that. It just means that this politically liberal pope just makes up things as he goes.
He spends more time on global warming and other liberal causes than he has concerning the genocide of Christians in the Middle East.
The “Cruz Sanhedrin”? What’s that mean? Why not just say “the Cruz Taliban” or some other ridiculous phrase?
Force Association is what we have with open borders. Its just another failed government program. If government was limited and small, I wouldn’t care if we have open borders because everyone coming in would be trying to integrate with rest of society
Government is importing millions of people into the country and forcing natives to pay for their welfare. Opposing Government lust and greed for power is very Christian
We are to have the Malice of Children(and plenty of nice POLITENESS minded Christians have that part down real well) but we are also to have the wisdom of serpents! The wisdom part is what many are afraid to use because to do so will lead them down paths and decision trees that will often bring them into confrontation with the politically correct folk who are suffused with the worldly wisdom of this age! We’ve become too lily livered and are cowards...even this writer, I ashamed to admit! Yet the dividing chasms are widening in this nation and it will soon become costly to declare one self Christian!
This so called pope think being a leftwing agenda advocate is being “Christian.”
Dear Pope!
BUILD UP THE WALLS OF ZION! BUILD UP THE WAY OF THE LORD!
There are two things that bother me about the public conception of “a wall”.
1. We already approved money to build MORE border protection walls, but they were not built.
2. We don’t have to build a massive wall across the entire border. We only need to enforce laws that are on the books already, and let the Border Patrol do it’s job.
You sound like Huck Finn.
1-A President committed to security will spend the money already approved/committed.
2-An actual Israeli style wall eliminates all arguments and inaction from the equation. It works without hesitation, tirelessly. With that in place, securing the gates and maintaining the wall become a simpler task.
The Bible is not a suicide pact. And the Pope lives in a city state surrounded by walls. Why, because he knows suicide is a sin.
