Pope: Trump 'is not Christian' if he wants to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border

The Pope?s comments en route home from Mexico came hours after he prayed at the border for migrants who died trying to reach the United States. 

Liberals in full attack mode this morning 

It's too easy. The GOP nominees are the ones attacking, we just have to point and laugh.

The republicans haven't had anything to attack. Weak sauce. 

Given that the entire GOP field wants to build a wall now, that means the Pope doesn't think any of them are Christian. I agree with him. 

Please like the democrat nominees aren't attacking each other. With Clinton crying when Bernie attacks her saying he's not running a clean campaign


LMAO -in my joe voice 

Are women that support Bernie still going to hell? 

I thought judas was trying to recruit support for trump with the title of the thread.

They have to be.

The inevitable trainwreck of Sanders/Clinton has to be ignored. 

The Vatican has a pretty big wall.

The Pope should be preaching to Latin American leaders about how bad they have done with their own countries. If their countries didn't suck, then we wouldn't have the illegals.

The Pope has been useless since 1054. 

Trumpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Trumpty Dumpty had a big fall. 

He was awesome in 1053. 

Here is most of the quote anyway. - From American Magazine.

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,? Pope Francis stated when responding to questions regarding Donald Trump.

These questions were prefaced by information that Trump has announced that if he were to become president of the United States he would deport 11 million illegal immigrants from the country, in that way separating families, and build a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.

When asked ?if an American Catholic could vote for a person like this?? Francis responded, ?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 says things like that.? Then, in relation to Trump, he added, ?We must see if he said things in that way and in this I give the benefit of the doubt.? 

Trump's Awesome:

His response:
?
If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is ISIS?s ultimate trophy, I can promise you that the Pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been President because this would not have happened. ISIS would have been eradicated unlike what is happening now with our all talk, no action politicians.

The Mexican government and its leadership has made many disparaging remarks about me to the Pope, because they want to continue to rip off the United States, both on trade and at the border, and they understand I am totally wise to them. The Pope only heard one side of the story ? he didn?t see the crime, the drug trafficking and the negative economic impact the current policies have on the United States. He doesn?t see how Mexican leadership is outsmarting President Obama and our leadership in every aspect of negotiation.

For a religious leader to question a person?s faith is disgraceful. I am proud to be a Christian and as President I will not allow Christianity to be consistently attacked and weakened, unlike what is happening now, with our current President. No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man?s religion or faith. They are using the Pope as a pawn and they should be ashamed of themselves for doing so, especially when so many lives are involved and when illegal immigration is so rampant.

SoupyHood using his alt ID this morning. 

Yawn, Joey.

I only need but 1 ID to make you look foolish on a daily basis. 

The Pope should be preaching to Latin American leaders about how bad they have done with their own countries. If their countries didn't suck, then we wouldn't have the illegals.

He did -

In his homily, Francis had spoken about poverty, which is the main cause for most of the migration from Mexico and Central America, and in his talk earlier in the day to a gathering of 1,000 entrepreneurs and labor organizers he spoke again about poverty and drew attention to the dysfunctional nature of the present economic system. He emphasized the pressing need ?to create employment opportunities which are dignified and truly beneficial for society and especially for the young of this land.?

Half of Mexico?s population are young people and, he said, ?one of the greatest scourges? is ?the lack of opportunities for study and for sustainable and profitable work, which would permit them to work for the future.? In many cases, he added, ?this lack of opportunity leads to situations of poverty. And this poverty then becomes the best breeding ground for the young to fall into the cycle of drug trafficking and violence.? He appealed to them not to allow such a future for Mexico.

In his speech, he criticized the fact that ?the paradigm of economic utility? has become ?the starting point for personal relationships,? and ?the prevailing mentality advocates for the greatest possible profits, immediately and at any cost.?

Speaking frankly, he told them that all this ?not only causes the ethical dimension of business to be lost, but it also forgets that the best investment we can make is in people, in individual persons and in families. The best investment is creating opportunities.?

Francis also criticized ?the prevailing mentality? that ?puts the flow of people at the service of the flow of capital, resulting in many cases in the exploitation of employees as if they were objects to be used and discarded.? Speaking like a prophet, he declared, ?God will hold us accountable for the slaves of our day, and we must do everything to make sure that these situations do not happen again.? He insisted that ?the flow of capital cannot decide the flow and life of people.?

Faced with this stark reality, Francis said, ?every sector has the obligation of looking out for the good of all; we are all in the same boat. We all have to struggle to make sure that work is a humanizing moment which looks to the future; that it is a space for building up society and each person?s participation in it.?

How is that Vatican wall working out? 

He was awesome in 1053

Back when he was just the Patriarch of Rome and didn't think he was the one voice of God. 

This Pope needs to take lessons from Pope John Paul II. 

How is that Vatican wall working out?

The Vatican is an open border - just walk in 

Given that the entire GOP field wants to build a wall now,

Pretty much how this thread turned out:

So you pay dummy what do you think! I have been there!

About Trump I knew this long before the Pope! Go H I L L A R Y ! 

So you pay dummy what do you think! I have been there!

Same reason there are walls around Jerusalem with seven gates. It is an custom from ancient times. This pope did NOT put up the walls! 

This pope did NOT put up the walls!

Mr. Pope, tear down this wall. 

Mr. Pope, tear down this wall.

no need - it is full of holes ( I think 4 from memory) , and I am not even sure that it completely circles the Vatican.

In this regard it will probably very much resemble whatever government planned, purchased, and built monstrosity they all want to build here. It will be full or holes, and probably not ever get completed. 

Trump's personal Viet Nam LMFAO

 

Doesn't the Vatican have a wall around it?
