In his general audience Wednesday, Pope Francis launched an appeal to the nations of the world to open their hearts and their doors to migrants who are standing “at the border,” in an apparent reference to the many migrants camped at key border positions trying to enter Europe

Pope Francis, who lives in Vatican City, which has the most restrictive immigration and citizenship policies in the world, and accuses presidential candidate Donald Trump of "not being a Christian" for wanting to build a wall to protect the American people.

First of all, the Pope is protected by a private army

Since 1990, the standard issue pistol of the Swiss guard has been the Sig P220

The Sig 552 is standard issue with the Swiss Guards (for when swords alone will not do).

The HK MP7 (probably) rides shotgun with the dark (purple) suit wearing Swiss Guardsmen closest to the pope

and lives safely behind far bigger walls
than Trump plans to build.

That is very true! You can only get Vatican citizenship by appointment, and even then the citizenship is usually only temporary! For example, you MIGHT get citizenship if you work there in a special capacity. But you'll lose that citizenship when you retire.

Despite their Renaissance uniforms, those guards are tough and mean! I wouldn’t want to tangle with them.
