Pope Francis: 'Building Walls Means Condemning Yourself to Death'
TownHall.com ^ | 9-26-2019 | Timothy Meads

Posted on 09/30/2019 6:20:29 PM PDT by Drago

The leader of the Roman Catholic Church met with a group of Jesuits from Mozambique, Portugal, and Zimbabwe in early September to discuss political and religious issues. The conversation occurred on September 5, but a transcript of the discussion was released on Thursday. During the talk, Pope Francis warned of xenophobia and populism.

"Xenophobia and aporophobia today are part of a populist mentality that leaves no sovereignty to the people. Xenophobia destroys the unity of a people, even that of the people of God," the pope said.

They say some Vatican wall areas are fourteen feet thick. Love them alien rascals-—except here in the Vatican itself.

Trump should merely say “I will take the Pope’s lead and build no part of the Border Wall thicker than fourteen feet.”

Also, let’s see everyone casually go inside the Vatican, hang out, sleep on the floor and go through the secret UFO Church record documents held classified inside. Saw on Ancient Aliens-—and it is true despite the show. The Catholic Church owns a Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope in Arizona in the USA watching a particular star system.
Let’s see the secrets behind the big Vatican wall.

Why does the Vatican have walls around all its
cities in Italy?
_________________________________
Yes the reading in Mass lately talk about the gates of heaven or how God lit a burning flame wall around Jerusalem to protect His people.

Q: What holds up the gates?
A: WALLS walls.

I half expect that one of these days he will give a speech at the UN decrying his stolen childhood by evil capitalist climate deniers.

First take the plank out of your own eye, etc. etc. etc....I am sure, dear Francis, that you may have come across this advice a time or two.

If you're a good and faithful believer in Christ, I don't see how your leaving, improves the Church.

What's with the soldiers abandoning their posts as soon as the enemy is within the walls? You're not supposed to go AWOL at first blood. You're supposed to stand and fight.

Jesus said that when confronted by the wolves, the good 'uns stay, the hirelings run. (John 10:12-13)

It's a very confusing time, disturbing, frightening, even surreal. But God is not the Author of confusion; and He gives His children light.

That's a strange line to take, since the European peoples and especially the English scattered themselves across the globe, establishing English-speaking colonies and cultures on all the inhabited continents ("The sun never sets on the British Empire") such that, even today, English the world's "most influential language," due to the number of primary speakers (almost 400 million) and the number of countries in which it is spoken.

There are more people who speak Chinese and Spanish, in their respective countries, but English is the #1 "second language" all over the globe.

So much for Babel.

I wouldn’t be heart broken seeing smoke signals rise from the Vatican sooner than later.

This Pope is obsessed with worldly matters.

He’s just another pouty lefty, spouting exclusionary rhetoric.

What a diminishment of position.

Just once this “Pope” is going to make a proclamation on an issue of importance that's consistent with what the nuns taught me during 10.5 years of Catholic school in the 50s and 60s.

Of course Jorge wants more border jumpers coming into America. That’s more Catholics to fill up those churches that lost members because of the pedophile scandals.

Old Popie needs to clean around his own front door.

Meanwhile, as for me and my house we will choose to read and understand the Bible on our own and ignore him and his cabal.

Soon with any luck but there is always another pope waiting in the wings.
