Hypocrite. Ever see the Vatican walls? They look about 300' tall.

Even a Catholic would have to be embarrassed by this Pope.

I am a conservative, and former Catholic. I didn't like Trump from the start, for a lot of reasons. The Pope means nothing to me on this. If His Holiness wants to get into politics, he should run for office. He is now fair game on all counts, IMHO. The CC owns more land, property, and " walls " than any one else in the world. tr

part of trump's response was : "No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man’s religion or faith."

I guess he forget he questioned Carson's faith and doesn't seem to accept Islam at all.

Hmmm. Does the Poop like the moslem in chief?

Many people think that it's not Christian to protect yourself. This is where I got into trouble when I was a kid. I'd go to church on Sunday and beat the living hell out of a bully on Tuesday. They didn't really know how to handle me...LOL.

How Christian is it to sanction the molestation of children? ...get a rope...

" The Vatican, for its part, welcomes millions of visitors a year — but allows only a very select few, who meet strict criteria, to be admitted as residents or citizens. "

So says the man who lives in a fortress, city/state, surrounded by walls. People who live in glass houses, need not throw stones.

I don't think it really matters, unless he was Catholic and the Pope excommunicated him. Still, I think the general consensus is "bleah who cares". It didn't matter to Henry VIII either. Popes have been clashing with politicians since the beginning of the Papacy.

Popele in glass houses ...

Walls are not just physical structures. There are many walls created by laws (not all good), walls of regulations and psychological walls, to name a few. The Catholic Church is champion of many of these walls that have existed for centuries.

I am amazed that the Pope made such a statement. It is true that Trump has spoken the loudest on the subject but so have many other candidates who cannot consider themselves outside of the Pope's condemnation either. And, if we really want to look at this from a critical point of view, then the Pope has, also, accused the US of not being "Christian" since the wall in reality already exists, in part, and always with intentions to complete it. I say the Pope's statement goes beyond offending only Trump.

I am finding this 'accusation' really amusing. While I do not particularly like Trump, the idea of the Pope choosing to sling a particularly meaningless mud at One Particular candidate is interesting. Let me see, the Liberal meda, the Conservative media, the Republican party, and the Pope all dislike Trump.

Maybe I am warming to this fellow...

If one is Catholic and as such believes the Pope to be God's mouthpiece on earth, the Pope is actually eminently qualified to make such a pronunciation. All this did was reinforce to me that the Pope is merely a man.

As to it's effect, who knows? Only those who are Catholic would even take such a proclamation seriously, and judging by voting over the past 30 years, I seriously doubt they vote their religion. That being said, the efforts Trump has made to pass himself off as a Christian are even less credible than Obama's were. He couldn't name his favorite scripture story, he mispronounced the names of books of the Bible, etc.

That being said, it isn't Trump's Christianity or not which is important to me, but his positions. When he agreed on MSNBC that he was in favor of government-run healthcare, higher taxes, and more regulations, it just confirmed to me that he's a progressive. No thanks.

The "Christian" Vatican should be crammed with Muslim refugees and (and I've read about this) cleaning up poop of those who do not know what a toilet is for.

Government and politics should be a “religion free zone.” But, the Pope (how anyone can call the world’s leading celibate “holiness” is beyond my comprehension) does provide good entertainment---as does Trump. What I like about Trump is he does not let his pompiness Francisco (or anyone else) get away with attacking him without response. I also like the media, establishment, and others hate him. Since he can’t possibly do what he claims he wants to do, he is a breath of fresh air in the political swimming pool and sure is better than the remaining candidates in the Big Government Party.

Who the heck cares?

By the way, what does "IMHO" stand for?

Obama, the Pope...who next...North Korea?

Neither one of them are...(in terms of the teachings of Jesus verses the faux organization and misconceptions of those teachings)

They are both bicameral tyrannical idiots, one a perverted jesuit and the other stuck in a perverted compartmentalized business meme.
I reference spiral dynamics here...just in case you have read any of those books...it's very interesting and enlightening.

The pope is an anachronism. I dont listen to anything he says. Its all dogma supposedly written by "holy people". I dont buy that stuff at all. He is a socialist, pandering to the people so they stay in his church and make donations to it. Always the hidden agenda with these power hungry people.

I beginning to think that the "Vicar of Christ" may have confused Jesus with the Morningstar. So, he wants to build a wall. What about the 50 foot high one surrounding the Vatican? As to people who have lost their Christianity - does that hold true for the hundreds of pedophile priests? He's nothing but a hyppoChrist.
