VANITY -- aren't there walls around the Vatican, staffed with armed Swiss guards? And surrounding that, a sovereign state that you much pass in order to get to the Vatican?

OK now; if Trump is not a Christian for building a wall and there's a 50' wall around the Vatican does that mean....Oh! Sorry.

Almost got logical there for a minute.

Check it Popester:

"America's walls allow our nation to save itself in order to hold tight to an invaluable culture that exports its generosity and charity and missionary work. America cannot take everyone in and survive. And it must remain America or be destroyed at the expense of all the incalculable good it does."

This communist Pope is a hypocrite just like all communist leaders.

Mr Pope, tear down that wall at the Vatican before you pontificate on another’s wall.

Mexican Roman Catholics should be (as an act of love) inviting in as many Syrian refugees as they can take. Roman Catholics are known for their charity and good works. Even Mother Teresa said that “charity begins at home”. It is not very charitable to offer your friends house (e.g. US) as a sanctuary before you offer your own house first (i.e. Mexico).

They sure as hell do not let anyone just sneak into Vatican City.

Francis is just a very, very, wicked leader.

The more relevant question is, what does the Vatican Guard do with those who violate the border and desire to stay to take advantage of the Vatican welfare state?

No. They aren't guarded. They aren't patrolled.

I think somebody in Mexico was whispering in the pontiff’s ear.

And where does the money come from to keep those behind walls from starving, etc.? Capitalism is evil. Guess that makes everyone behind closed doors evil.

Most are way to young to recall that when JFK, a Catholic, ran in 1960, there were questions as to whether he would take orders from the Vatican or be beholden to the Vatican. Now this Pope, by intruding into American politics, again raises those questions.

I think the "Gang of Eight's" Marco "Amnesty" Rubio is the Pope's favorite and he is trying to help him along.

All members of the Papal Swiss Guard are drawn from volunteers who have a clean service record with the Swiss Army:

Swiss Soldiers from the Gebirgs 85th Infantry Battalion training with the Light Machine Gun 05 (FN Minimi).
