CNN ^ | April 1, 2019 | Eli Watkins

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.

Not true.

We are the Church, not him. If Francis is successful in driving Catholics out, the Church is lost. We will pray and endure, and we will still be here when Francis is gone.

This pope sounds more and more like Wormtongue from ‘Lord of the Rings’.

Does freedom of religion mean that you don’t have to listen to this knucklehead?

But one thing I have noticed is that liberals, liberal Marxists, espouse the same thoughts. There are American liberal Marxists on YouTube that the prime concern they have with a border wall is that they will not be able to leave.

Maybe it is a concern, if you don’t trust the government. But I would rather deal with that later than have the assault on our tax dollars and the assault on our livelihoods completely overrun buy a systemic failure to control a border.

Does the pope realize that Jerusalem was built with a wall around it.

Between the sodomite clergy and Pope San Francisco, the Church’s brand is being destroyed.

Hopefully Cardinal McCarrick and his partners in crime built a lot of walls then.

Too bad there were no walls to protect the innocent from pedophiles. What’s the matter Francis, you afraid they will cut off your supply of young innocents?

yes -

they are hypocrite’s

I was in Rome last year-

Not only is the wall high- over 30 feet- but
very thick- you could probably Not smash a truck
through it.-

AT EVERY CORNER NEXT TO THE WALL was a small roped off area with a humvee/jeep- and MINIMUM 2 armed military
police with- heaven forbid - ASSAULT rifles!

We are talking every 200 yards or so- for the Military
The vatican has their own swiss guards also standing at EVERY door
Then there is the Regular police-(they cruise around st peters square-

And finally- paid security guards- making everyone
go through metal detectors- I am told there are quite a
few undercover police too- All the subways had armed SOLDIERS too-

What is the pope afraid of? some one might want to kiss his ring? male prostitutes going to rush the doors?

unfortunately the catholic church has this usurper
for quite awhile

Good one, LOL, central_va!

Let this globalist in pope's costume make a fool himself.  When Trump and Frankie were in the same room together, God said, "I choose the papa with the orange Zucchetto :- )

Yes! Have Trump go to Rome and make a speech in front of the Vatican where he paraphrases Reagan on “tear down this wall MR. POPE.”
