Didn’t Trump question Carson’s Christianity and Cruz’s? I believe he did. So even if the Pope is out of line, Trump is not one who doesn’t do the same thing.

Revelation Chapter 12:
1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 1193). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Previous Bible commentators have taken this as a symbolic vision about Israel (Mary) giving birth to Jesus, and marking the start of the 3 1/2 year Great Tribulation.
However, since “knowledge had increased”, we can use star charting programs such as Stellarium to see that this could be a literal “great sign” in heaven.

The constellation “Virgo”, the Virgin, has always been identified with Mary the Mother of Jesus. The nine stars of Leo, the Lion (of Judah), form a “garland” above her head.
Jupiter has always been identified as the “King” star. It is striped (by His stripes we are healed) and has a large, red spot (they pierced His side).

Here is the sequence of events regarding the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Virgo, Leo, Mercury, Mars and Venus

Mon, 21 November 2016 = 20th of Cheshvan, 5777
Jupiter enters Virgo (the Virgin’s Womb) crossing line from Spica to Porrima

Sat, 28 January 2017 = 1st of Sh’vat, 5777
Jupiter retrograde motion begins inside Virgo.

Sat, 10 June 2017 = 16th of Sivan, 5777
Jupiter prograde motion resumes inside Virgo

Thu, 17 August 2017 = 25th of Av, 5777
Total Solar eclipse across America (Charleston to Portland)

Sun, 10 September 2017 = 19th of Elul, 5777
Jupiter crosses Heze — Spica line. Virgin gives birth? Conjunction Regulus and Mercury

Wed, 20 September 2017 = 29th of Elul, 5777
New Moon, Venus — Regulus conjunction

Sun, 24 September 2017 = 4th of Tishrei, 5778
Sun at Virgo’s shoulders (clothed), the Moon is at her feet, Mercury, Mars, Venus are added to Leo’s nine stars as Virgo’s 12-star ‘garland’

The great sign in the heaven is complete. This formation has not happened in the past 6000 years and won’t happen again for at least another 2000 years.

Luke 21
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
26 “men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 “Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 1023). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Actually, the Popes statement is even broader than the headline would indicate. He pretty much said that anyone supporting the wall was not a Christian. That would include most freepers, Trump, and Cruz.

the guy who lives behind a large wall.


Say all the politicians and corporate donors who live in gated communities and can afford security who are open borders, cheap labor express supporters.

Such elitist hypocrites.

German women that are Christian, are saying “NO” to rape from another religion’s animals is like putting up a wall. Will the Pope begin to call these women not Christian.

What makes the pope an authority on who’s a Christian?

We aren’t all Catholics, and his opinion is no better than any other man’s. Only God can say who is a Christian in the end.

Trump, a Presbyterian, shot back within minutes.

“For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful,” he said at a campaign stop in South Carolina, which holds a key primary on Saturday. “I am proud to be a Christian and as president I will not allow Christianity to be consistently attacked and weakened.”

He also said the Mexican government has disparaged him to the Pope and separately invoked the Islamic State group, saying that if it attacks the Vatican, “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.”

Funny, I’ve been to the Vatican a couple times and I seem to recall that it’s surrounded by a ... wait for it ... wall! It’s that wall which helps the Prince and his princelings make their claim to nation statehood. Otherwise it would just be another place to buy cheap Italian postcards and overpriced Italian shoes.

Probably taken out of context.

But you have to take care of yourself to be able to help others. That applies to countries too.

I’m incredibly anti-Trump, but this pope needs to STFU.

What a bunch of BS this is! And some wonder why MOST of us want nothing to do with organized religion...it’s just another con job for con men like this old fool Pope and Cruz to exploit the ignorant.

Take ‘em to the Vatican you old fool.
