Pope Francis on Sunday spoke out against governments that build walls to keep out migrants, reiterating his calls for a compassionate approach to migration.

"Those who build walls will become prisoners of the walls they put up," the Pope said. "This is history."

Francis made his comments to reporters while flying to Rome after a visit to Morocco, and when asked about the efforts of several nations, including the US and Spain, to build walls and fences to keep out migrants, Francis made his remark.

STFU and clean up our church.

I can’t believe a perfectly healthy Pope was kicked out and basically exiled to be replaced by this moron.

I’ve now lived to see two things I thought I would never.

A coup attempt in the US and a coup attempt at the Vatican.

Thank goodness only one worked.

Take a bath in your holy water and worry about your own walls.

P.S. Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who didn’t.

Right out of the Bible, that is. Page 4, I think.

One of the telltale signals that a religious leader is a false teacher is when he gets involved in politics. The Apostles are our example.

WORST POPE ever! What a dunce! Stupidest too. Sorry but the upper echelons of the Church in the Vatican is infested with gays living in the clouds. Gays living very nice and soft lives. Their lives are so far away from the average citizen in Europe and the USA. The average married guy who has to go out and earn a living each day. And whose wife might might *have to work* to support the family.

These Vatican gays have minds that are SOFT as a grape. They really need a few years in the fields hoeing cabbages like Mao sent them during the Cultural Revolution.

They needed a wall between their pastors and the altar boys.
