On Eve of Election, Pope Francis Stumps For Hillary
The Remnant ^ | November 6, 2016 | Michael Matt

Though he mentioned neither candidate by name, it was obvious that Pope Francis was less than concerned that his talking points were bound to put him in Hillary Clinton's corner, just hours before the U.S. election.

Americamagazine.org reports:

In a speech delivered at the Vatican just three days before the U.S. presidential election, Pope Francis urged social justice activists from around the world not to give into the politics of fear by building walls but instead work to build bridges. “Because fear—as well as being a good deal for the merchants of arms and death—weakens and destabilizes us, destroys our psychological and spiritual defenses, numbs us to the suffering of others,” he said.

“In the end,” he continued, “it makes us cruel.”

The pope did not mention the Nov. 8 U.S. election, but many of the themes he touched on have played out in debates between Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton in recent months...

The pope said on Saturday that Christians should not give into the temptation to build walls, even in the face of “hateful and cowardly attacks,” a reference to global terrorism. “Dear Brothers and Sisters,” he said, “all walls fall.” READ ARTICLE HERE

REMNANT COMMENT : Gee, I wonder who he's talking about. "All walls fall"? Maybe he's hinting that Hillary's prison walls won't keep her behind bars forever. Yeah, that's gotta be it.

But seriously, Remnant columnist Elizabeth Yore seems to have a point when she writes that Clinton/Soros have managed to coopt the Vatican and make a surrogate out of Pope Francis. God help us.

In the meantime, Trump's message to Catholics isn't too bad. Check it out:

The pope is pro-abortion? Interesting that he would put the worldly concerns of economics, foreign affairs, and politics over the lives of innocent babies.

Comey should find the nearest bridge and jump off it, before somebody throws him off it.

I’m Catholic, but this “Pope” does NOT represent me, nor my faith!!

I’m sure Lord Jesus Christ would agree with me....

I miss John Paul II and I’m not a catholic. Granted he wasn’t perfect either but JP II would be light years beyond this guy.

The pope is a leftist. As with leftists everywhere, leftism is the most important thing. More important that God, more important than country, more important than family. More important than the lives of innocent babies.

It doesn’t work that way. God is in control of that - only God.

I miss Pope Benedict. I liked him even better than John Paul. His books were easier to read.

I stopped attending my Catholic church when I discovered our pastor had donated to Obama.

If there is one issue that the Catholic church should hold sacred it’s right to life. Yet I’ve seen many Catholic leaders look the other way when it comes to the evil practice of late term abortion simply because they favor the ideology of socialism and liberalism.

screw ‘em

It is an ethnic thing. JFK was a Democrat, and Catholic, and so the Democrats are the party of Catholics.

Oh, and the Know Nothings were mean to Great,Great Grandpa so we can NEVER vote for the GOP.

Never mind that Hillary’s campaign is ran by a devil worshiping man, and she supports killing babies, she is a Democrat!

Oh, and she will let the illegals in, so that is just dandy! And lots of islamic refugees! But keep them out of the Vatican!

Sorry. That wasn’t sarcasm.

Of course the Vatican is going to support the pro-abortion candidate. Is anyone really surprised by this?

The Pope supports the war criminal who will see to it that Syrian Christians are exterminated, the murderer of unborn babies, and the one who will burn the world and exterminate all humanity with nuclear fire? Then the Pope is an agent of Satan.
