President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan robustly rejected Pope Francis’ criticism of the administration’s border policies, saying the Pope “ought to fix the Catholic Church and concentrate on his work and leave border enforcement to us.”
Speaking to reporters outside the White House last night, Homan issued succinct comments on Pope Francis’ surprise letter sent yesterday to the U.S. bishops.
“I’ve got harsh words for the Pope. The Pope ought to fix the Catholic Church,” began Homan.
“I’m saying this as a lifelong Catholic: I was baptized Catholic, [had] my first Communion as a Catholic, confirmation as a Catholic. He ought to fix the Catholic Church and concentrate on his work and leave border enforcement to us,” added Homan.
Continuing, the border czar implied the Pope was hypocritical in his denunciation of the U.S. policy, saying “he wants to attack us securing our border? He has got a wall around the Vatican, does he not? So he has a wall to protect his people and himself, but we can’t have a wall around the United States.”

Hit the nail on the head.
This coming Sunday will be the Bishop’s Appeal where a member of Catholic Charities will show a video and beg us for money. I will be walking out when she starts her presentation. I haven’t given to them in 35 years when they brought El Salvadorans to my town. There were drug dealers and prostitutes hanging out in front of the church and elementary school after that.
He’s trying to fix it. Fix, as in neuter.
Good for you. Thanks for sharing that.
A timeless supplication.
Could been have uttered a thousand years ago or yesterday, it still rings true.
ARE there special rules in the Catholic Church that calls for MASSIVE HYPOCRITICAL STATEMENTS ??????
IMO—HE IS THE ANTI-CHIST
IMO—HE IS THE ANTI-CHRIST
Well said.
This poop has ran more people from the church, then all the previous poops
That’s gonna leave a mark in The Pope’s dependses.
But I repeat myself .
JK! LOL!
He sounds like he’s going to run for office, in America, as a Democrat.
Yeah- get a real “pope”.
They are no different now than they ever were. They're just getting used to the scandals.
Lincoln’s quote about U.S. Grant applies to Tom Homan: “I can’t spare this man; he fights”
The pope is a Marxist. His belief in Marxism appears to be stronger than his belief in God.
Michael Matt rants over Pope Francis' scathing letter to US Bishops, ordering them to resist President Trump on illegal immigration and the open border. Trouble is, just last November the Vatican enacted a new law that bans unlawful entry into Vatican City and provides a penalty of 4 years in prison and a 25,000-Euros fine for violators.
So, evidently for Francis it's open borders for thee but not for me. Good to know, Holiness.
Bergoglio is Deep State.
BTW, the collection in the Vatican Museums is worth billions.
Why doesn’t the Catholic Chirch sell it off and put its money where its mouth is.
