Two can play at this game.
Everytime I am on a highway, and see the walls they build around them, I remember I an now a prisoner, and can’t escape.
Then I see the sign for the next exit, and remember that this Pope is not really speaking with authority.
The Pope of "QUEERVILLE" has spoken.
Then why doesn’t Vatican City give up its sovereignity and go back to being a part of Italy, like they were before they made their little deal with the atheist Mussolini?
Sure there is a wall around the Vatican. It was built after The Muslims sacked The Vatican in 846 and made off with lots of Vatican gold and treasure.

Pope Francis’ statement this week Christians should not think of “building walls” had one major problem.
The pope’s sovereign city-state, Vatican City, is surrounded by giant walls.
What’s more, the walls were specifically built by a prior pope to repel Muslims.
History shows back in 846, Muslim raiders known as the Saracens looted Old St. Peter’s Basilica and the Papal Basilica of St. Paul outside the walls. The pirates took priceless treasures from the shrines.
Shocked by the sack of some of the most sacred sites in Christendom, Pope Leo IV created the Leonine Wall, completely surrounding the Vatican Hill. Additional defenses were added in the 15th and 16th centuries.

If the Pope could convince the masses to follow the
rules, we wouldn’t need the wall.
No one told me there was going to be a pope quiz today..?
He is empowered by everyone who remains Catholic.
I gave up organized religion for Lent.
As soon as the Muzzies are gathered outside the gates.
CATHOLIC FAILURE
Mr. Pope, the Catholics went South creating failure, while the Protestants went North and created success. The whole world can see.
Mr. Pope, you built that Catholic violent, miserable mess down south in South America.
The Protestants built a successful Free Republic in North America.
The Wall is to keep your Communist failure away.
Mr. Pope, we Christians call on you to apologize for your failed leadership and your fake compassion for the poverty you created.
Then the next ten Pope’s need to resign for incompetence.
Thank you.
The clown shouldn’t be allowed out of the Vatican.
All of them except the cute ones.
The Church hasn’t received a penny from me for well on a year now.
My faith hasn’t suffered, either. In some ways it is getting stronger.
Border walls are, in a very real way, equivalent to locks on the doors of your house or your car. They are there to guard against being hurt by those who are not acting in love and good faith. The Church has locks and walls, and guards against those who would steal from the Church. They Church had to take arms previously, to protect itself from a total Muslim takeover. You have guards at the Vatican.
The realities of the world we live in today are such that you and your predecessors had to start driving around in bullet-proof vehicles to protect yourselves. Even soccer/football matches, including the World Cup matches, required strict surveillance of who was admitted into matches - to avoid innocent people being slaughtered. Such an attempt was made not long ago in Paris, not far from where you now live.
For you to ask others to put their way of life at risk, including their ability to practice their faith safely and in peace, is not consistent with Christianity or the future of the Church. I think you should pray very hard about this.
That said, please quit throwing stones at other Christians. The Church hierarchy is not superior to the faithful of the Church that you are supposed to serve as Pope to.
What a brass-plated hypocrite.
Pope Soros i
Unfortunately, I know this Pope well enough to know he is not speaking out of concern for us.
Says the man who lives in the ivory-est of towers. Those who don’t build walls become prisoners of the vermin that invade.
And they also have no way to hold up the roof.
