September 11, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – Pope Francis challenged President Trump on his pro-life views in a new interview, questioning whether Trump is actually pro-life because of his immigration stances.
Aboard the papal plane on September 10, Pope Francis criticized the U.S. president over his plans to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. DACA allows children of illegal immigrants who were illegally brought into the country to remain and apply for work permits.
"I have heard the President of the United States speak," said Pope Francis as translated and reported by the National Catholic Reporter. "He presents himself as a pro-life man. If he is a good pro-lifer, he should understand that the family is the cradle of life and you must defend its unity."
He was answering a Mexican journalist's question.
"Removing young people from their family is not a thing that bears good fruit, neither for the young person nor the family," the pope continued, admitting "he has not studied the specifics of the DACA program," according to NCR.
"Young people today need to re-find their roots," Pope Francis continued. "And anything that goes against this robs them of hope."
According to NCR, Pope Francis suggested "young people who become detached from their roots and lose hope in the future" might choose suicide. It's unclear whether he was implying that the "roots" of those benefitting from DACA are their home countries or the United States.
During the same press conference, Pope Francis said there's a "moral responsibility" for people to do what they can to halt "climate change."
"If someone is a bit doubtful ... ask the scientists," he said. "They are very clear. They are not opinions on the fly. They are very clear. Then, decide and history will judge the decisions."

If their family is in Mexico, how is having some of them in the U.S. keeping them together?
The comments to follow can be safely predicted. LOL
This same pope didn’t really question Obama on his abortion stance or his gay stance. I am beginning to worry about this pope
That’s alright, KC Burke questions Francis’ Roman Catholicism.
People used to ask rhetorically “is the pope catholic?”.
Not so rhetorical anymore
I swear, he’s running in 2020.
Flush twice.
Beginning?
Póg mo thóin, “pope.”
The Pope is now stretching to connect things that are not connected. I am pro-(most) illegals. And I can state that there is no connection between a position on immigration and a pro-life position. No connection from the perspective of pro-lifers. No connection from the perspective of pro-abortionists.
This kind of criticism results from rhetorical dishonesty of calling the anti-abortion position “pro-life.” For bad reasons, the anti-abortion people thought they had to match the dishonesty of the pro-abortionists calling themselves “pro-choice.”
Poop Francicommie can have a nice big cup of STFU.

I love the way your express yourself, lol.
Ole Frankie the Poop is such a global commie turd.
Lock him up, too!
Mexico and Mexicans should be ashamed that so many of it’s citizens are compelled to leave their own country.
