Pope Francis Appears to Draw Comparison Between Herod and Trump’s Immigration Stance
LifeSite News ^ | 12/9/19 | Paul Smeaton

December 9, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Pope Francis has drawn a comparison between the separation of children and parents by border authorities and the actions of “Herod,” in what appears to be a criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump.

“I must admit that I am shocked by some of the narratives I hear in Europe about borders,” the pontiff said. “Populism is gaining strength. In other parts there are walls that even separate children from parents. Herod comes to mind.”

The Pope did not elaborate further. The name “Herod” is most commonly associated with “Herod the Great,” who is best known for what is referred to as “the slaughtering of the Innocents,” an event described in the Gospel of Saint Matthew. King Herod gave the order to execute all the male children two years old and under in Bethlehem and surrounding regions in an effort to kill the newly born Jesus Christ.

Many in the pro-life movement draw a parallel between those innocent slaughtered children and innocent unborn children killed in the womb by abortion.

Pro-life activists have praised Trump for being the “most pro-life president in history.”

His primary job is to save souls, he is focused on other stuff.

The ImPopester was installed to lead his flock to slaughter.

His flock should flee him.

The man is a forked-tongue serpent and servant of Satan.

It’s that simple.

This president (and his wife) have openly worked hard for children especially those in trafficking situations and other horrible things. He has done these things worldwide.

And the Pope, who’s organization is chock FULL of pedofiles and perverts has the gall to complain about Trumps record with CHILDREN?

More projection, with a dose of pure evil thrown in.

“His primary job is to save souls, he is focused on other stuff”.

This “Pope” is a Communist/Globalist Social Engineer. The saving of souls is not on his agenda.

“Pope Francis Appears to Draw Comparison Between Herod and Trump’s Immigration Stance”

Actually, Francis said Trump is Hitler in Leftist passive-aggressive-speak.

Herod??? Trump???

Gee, Red Frankie... that little ol’ ideology you love to associate with - communism - killed more human beings than Herod ever dreamed of killing....

But hey, don’t let little things like facts stand in the way of good hyperbole and a chance to take a cheap shot on our President...

Dear Catholic Church:
You can’t replace this clown fast enough.

Going to have to wait for him to die.
Before Benedict XVI was forced out, every Pope for 500 years died in office.

Pope Francis meets with Italy's most prominent abortion advocate, Emma Bonino, whom he has praised as a "forgotten great."

The last I heard from this pervert “Pope” he was drooling about “Europe needing to be fertilized by young Muslim immigrant men” or some such rape fantasy.
