Ping.

[Genoa]

Spoken like a good Baptist. More popcorn please!

[Resettozero]

Nah. It’s okay. Trump’s letting this go because the point has already been made:

Once an Argentine communist, always an Argentine communist.

I think even Cruz supporters are on board with the Pope apologizing to Trump, certainly Catholic Cruz supporters. It would not surprise me at all if Ted Cruz publicly calls for the papal apology.

Religious leaders and sports talk hosts should stay away from politics.

They should follow the Jordan Rule: Republicans buy Nikes, too.

[proust]

Great stuff. Even Trump could not have bought this level of publicity.

[Resolute Conservative]

Ignoring the Pope works better for me.

In light of Trump admonishing the Pope for questioning his religion, should he apologize to Ted Cruz & Ben Carson?

"How can Ted Cruz be an Evangelical Christian when he lies so much and is so dishonest?"

"Just remember this - you gotta remember, in all fairness, to the best of my knowledge, not too many evangelicals come out of Cuba, OK?"

"I'm Presbyterian," Trump said. "Boy, that's down the middle of the road, folks, in all fairness. I mean, Seventh-day Adventist, I don't know about. I just don't know about."

Does he have to, no, but I'd respect him if he said, "In light of current events, I want to apologize to Ted & Ben if it seemed I was questioning their faith."

Done, move on. ...big brownie points.

Here'd what the Pope actually said: POPE FRANCIS: "Thank God he said I was a politician because Aristotle defined the human person as "animal politicus." So at least I am a human person. As to whether I am a pawn, well, maybe, I don't know. I'll leave that up to your judgment and that of the people. And then, a person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel. As far as what you said about whether I would advise to vote or not to vote, I am not going to get involved in that. I say only that this man is not Christian if he has said things like that. We must see if he said things in that way and in this I give the benefit of the doubt."

What part of that deserves forgiveness?

[Guenevere]

Franklin Graham said the same thing!
