VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis has criticized the Trump administration’s policy of separating migrant families at the Mexican border, saying populism is not the answer to the world’s immigration problems.

[from occupied ga]

I’m Catholic, but from what I see the pope isn’t

[Responsibility2nd]

Once again, the Pope has been wearing that big Pope Hat a little too tight. He’s suffering from brain damage.

This - as we all know - IS NOT Trump’s policy.

It’s a holdover from the Clinton/Obama years.

No surprise here, Frank is a commie.

[Sacajaweau]

He’s simply a communist....in every way.

[wastoute]

Well, there is the answer. Send them all to the Vatican.

[Leaning Right]

Two points:

1. Vatican City citizenship is the probably most difficult citizenship to get in the world. Even people who have worked there for 30 years have no chance to get it. Francis has said nothing about opening up the citizen process.

2. Most of Vatican City is surrounded by a huge wall. Francis has said nothing about tearing that wall down.

The church liberalized with Vatican II. Then "surprisingly" it had a crisis of vocations - people signing up for the priesthood. So they stopped turning away gays starting in the 60s/70s. They figured "hey, we're celibate anyway. so who cares if your gay and celibate? What's the difference?"

Then the gay preists started raping young teen boys in their charge, with gusto. That came out starting in the late 80s and rocked the church for the next 25 years. But somehow they gays and leftists managed to ascend to the papacy via Francis. They never give up, they never go away, they waited and they won. They run the church now thanks to the gay sex crisis they created!

So of course Francis is a hard core leftist. Everything is politics to these people, religion is a distant second even for a leftist Pope.

Disgraceful but there it is.

[novemberslady]

Tear down those Vatican walls you filthy bastards...

[yoe]

Pope Francis, The Daily Kos, Elijah Cummings, all the other helpers for the Drug Cartels....this is what has gotten across when not apprehended.

[Phil DiBasquette]

In the meantime we can consider him an anti-Christ

[gogeo]

Pope, you don’t even know the question, much less the answer.

[Professional]

The Pope, media, globalist think this dog is gonna hunt. Nope, the American people are completely sick and tired of illegal immigration.

Jump up and down, scream at the top of your lungs, but the voting American wants the border sealed tightly.

Americans support LEGAL immigration, but not willy nilly illegal immigration.

"...how is it this guy took over for another Pope that suddenly resigned?"

Some are now entertaining the possibility that Jorge Bergoglio is not the lawful head of the Catholic Church.

• Invalid resignation by Pope Benedict XVI

  • utterly insufficient nature of the reasons he gave (basically "I'm tired" and "I just don't want to do gigs like the WYD in Rio"). This, from a disciplined and logical thinker like BXVI, suggests that his remarks may have been imposed by some form of coercion

  • BXVI's actual failure to say he was resigning the papacy entirely, merely saying he was resigning his "public ministry," making this extra-canonical and obscure in a way "the BXVI we know" would never have done

  • BXVI retaining an extracanonical title "Pope Emeritus", continuing to wear papal clerical garb, continuing to live in the Vatican, with his Secretary Ganswein suggesting he sees a dual papacy, "one man active and the other contemplative."

  • If Benedict actually believed this, he would have changed Canon Law to reflect this, which he would have had the authority to do all along. But just hinting at it, with no express rationale, no canonical discussion, through a spokesman, at a Press Conference --- this is Bergoglio's signature way of dealing (not dealing) with things

• Invalidity of the 2013 papal conclave because of impermissible politicking by Bergoglio's allies, which entails automatic excommunication

• Material heresy on the part of Pope Francis through frequent pronouncements of a doctrinally impermissible nature (Amoris Laetitia is full of it)>li> formal heresy by causing the "Buenos Aires" statement to be published in the AAS, which means trying to impose something which contradicts all previous teachings of the Magisterium.

• This latter point contradicts the first rule of formal logic. Non-A cannot equal A.

I'm no canonist, but it seems to me (my ignorant opinion) that any one of those four points would be enough to invalidate the Bergoglio papacy.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Actually, I think, a more devious and complicated thing: a Peronist.

[haircutter]

Does ANYONE really care what this current Pope has to say?

He has been a major mistake, just like B.Hussein Obama was in the USA.

[Mrs. Don-o]

It would be more accurate, and more relevant, to call him a heretic.

The Pope is an idiot.

[dfwgator]

The Pope is a Dope.

JMHO A lot of the problems the world faces today are because of RC priests who abused young boys. It created a lot of people with confused gender and religious identity who are prone to a lax view on morality and commitment. They grew up victims of hypocrisy. And now victims are part of setting a very sick tone of cultural values.

How hypocritical that the Pope would condemn US attempts to keep children safe. I fear that the Church is no better than at its darkest hours when its goal was not what's best for people, but instead what keeps them more dependent and malleable.

I can't believe I just typed that. It was a spontaneous burst of thought about the sick absurdity of the false Pope's declarations.

> IT IS NOT “Trump administration’s policy”............................ <

Correct!

But unfortunately Trump is letting the liberals control the narrative here. Trump needs to address the nation about this. A tweet here and there will not do the trick. And he should start by referencing this 2014 quote from Hillary Clinton:

“We have to send a clear message, just because your child gets across the border, that doesn’t mean the child gets to stay. So, we don’t want to send a message that is contrary to our laws or will encourage more children to make that dangerous journey.”
