I heard Trump say only that the Pope is a political guy...or something like that. Did he add more about the Pope that I missed?

For the Pope to come to our border with Mexico and encourage illegal immigration does sound vaguely political to me. /sarc

In fact, it sounds like an attack by the Pope against our country. I really don’t know how else to look at it.

I wish it weren’t, but it is.

If the Pope wants the American taxpayer to pay for these illegals, then it’s time to tax the Church to help pay their fair share.

The simple fact of the matter, and I don't of anyone who will disagree, is that there have been some bad popes throughout history and Francis seems to fall into that category (though, unlike the bad popes of five centuries ago, his problem is not one of personal greed and corruption, but his seeming embrace of modernism and possible other heresies).

Though I reject the position of the sedevacantists, I fully understand their rationale. I trust the Lord's promise that the gates of hell will not prevail against His Church and that the Holy Spirit will prevent Francis from teaching heresy; however, I am certainly no fan of this pope and the fact that the media, to the best of my knowledge, has NEVER criticized him speaks volumes.
