The Vatican Responds To Trump
yahoo.com ^ | February 17

Posted on 02/17/2016 6:43:52 AM PST by Helicondelta

Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi says, "The pope always talks about migration problems all around the world, of the duties we have to solve these problems in a humane manner, of hosting those who come from other countries in search of a life of dignity and peace."

Lombardi's comments Tuesday night came in response to Trump criticizing the pope's plan to visit the border wall that separates Ciudad Juarez from El Paso, Texas, on Wednesday to put a focus on the plight of migrants.

Trump said in an interview with Fox that he doesn't think the pope understands the danger to the U.S. of an open border with Mexico.

Perhaps to end Pope Francis's hypocrisy, they should tear down the wall that encircles them.

How about Hawaii?

Let’s fill the bleepin’ golf courses on Oahu with ragheads, camels, tents and abused/mutilated women!

Tear down THAT Wall - (the one around the Vatican)...

Illegals can live with the Pope on the Catholic Church’s dime. Problem solved.

Hey pope! Shut the hell up and mind your own damned business. And BTW if you’re so frigging worried about immigrants and Trump’s wall, tear down your own damned wall. Put tents up in St Peter’s Square and let them sleep in your churches on cold nights. Sell off your treasures and turn St Peter’s into a mosque...then you MIGHT have the moral authority to challenge Donald Trump and his immigration policy.

I have never heard of the Vatican responding to American presidential candidates positions on anything. Trump must have hit a NWO (New World Order) nerve.

Send them back to their place of origin with a cookbook, a book on how to grow food successfully, and a gun

They should have utilized 50 years' worth of foreign aid to become more sane people.

How about the Pope work on fixing those 3rd world countries instead of sending their problems to the US and turning us into a 3rd world country

The pope understands. He wants them to go to the USA because he thinks the USA owes it to them. Just another way of transferring money from those who earn it to those who don’t.

The Pope should be taking to task the Catholic elites running the Central/South American nations for the rampant crime and corruption that is causing the illegals to try and flee their failed nations. Why doesn’t the Pope try cleaning up his own corrupt culture first, before attempting to lecture the West on anything.

Someone needs to show the Pope the ISIS flag hanging from a govt building, in Lubbock.

Trump was right, again, they/who the heck knows are crossing over our Southern border.

All humans are sinners and deeply flawed. All of Christ’s apostles were, why would modern man be any different? There are many good Catholic priests who suffer for the people of their parishes. It is completely appropriate to vocalize political differences with religious leaders but leave your Catholic hatred at the door.

I have not posted in over five years. I had to reply to you. We are not democrats and do not resort to name calling when we disagree with an issue. Oh wait - you didn’t even address the issue. The only reason you posted was to attack. Not only is your name calling comparable to liberal mentality, it is crude and offensive to the billions of people of any faith.
