POPE ON TRUMP: ANYONE WHO WANTS BORDER WALLS ISN'T CHRISTIAN

BY NICOLE WINFIELD

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) -- Pope Francis said Thursday that Donald Trump is "not Christian" if he intends to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border. Trump immediately fired back, saying it is disgraceful for a religious leader to question a person's faith.

Trump, a leading U.S. Republican presidential candidate, has promised to build a wall along the Mexican border from Texas to California and expel 11 million people who are in the country illegally if elected president. The Pope's comments en route home from Mexico came hours after he prayed at the Mexico-U.S. border for people who died trying to reach the United States.

"A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian," Francis said. "This is not in the Gospel."

In other words, the Pope approves of the rape and murder of Europeans at the hands of islamic pigs.

Funny, I remember going to the Vatican and their being tall, white walls of great security. We were forbidden going into certain places, and obstructed from passing into the confines of the secret chambers. I say this is a bit hypocritical.

The walls are because of crime. There still will be legal ways to get in.

Someone should remind the pope that anyone who adds works to faith and rejects salvation by grace through faith ALONE...isn’t a Christian.

Tell me, Mr Poop, are pedophiles and child molesters Christians?

Just wondering.
