The presidency doesn’t bend a knee to the Vatican. Screw him.

And if the pope is so F-ing worried about “climate change”, then quit burning all of that jet fuel used to fly “pilgrims” here and yonder shrines:

oh, and how about flying commercial instead of charter:

and get rid of your helicopter too while you’re at it, Mr. Hypocrite.

The problem is that the Pope is used to being a jerk, and pushing his subordinates around. This technique is highly unlikely to work with President Trump, as he is experienced with any number of jerks far beyond the Pope’s class.

So the big question will be how President Trump will let a lot of the air out of the Pope’s tires.

This Catholic stopped listening to Jorge a long time ago. It is passed time for this egotistical socialist to shut his pie hole.

Same goes for me.

This Pope just won’t shut up about worldly politics. Very tiresome.

Just yesterday, The Pontiff said he would look for common ground when Donald Trump visits, not be too quick to judge.
I guess ‘yesterday’ was a long time ago.

That banner headline of the Independent “Pope Francis says he will stand up to Donald Trump on immigration and climate change: is outrageously misleading.

If one doesn’t bother to read just this story they would be left with the false impression that the Pope (who I personally believe has done as much as he could to destroy the Church) was challenging Trump o a fight. Not true.

What he essentially said is that he was not going to pre-judge Trump, and that he expects Trump to stand up for his beliefs much as he (the pope) will stand up for his own beliefs.

Oh yeah, and what wasn’t in the Independent article to which this post was linked, was the fact that the reporter who asked the question of the pope, prefaced her question with a set-up that attempted to invite the pope into attacking Trump. The pope demurred, however, and responded in a reasonable and responsible way.

Like I said, I have no use for this pope and I’m totally in President Trump’s corner (my wife and I did 10 rallies during the primary); but all of us are very foolish if we allow the FAKE NEWS media to lead us around by the nose.

The ImPopester should mind his own business, which is supposed to be the spiritual well-being of Catholics.

Follow the money...Catholic Charities+taxpayer $$$$$+illegals/refugees = open border supporters.

Catholic Church is not alone in making bank off the taxpayer to “care for” illegals and refugees so government can hide who is actually paying. Other religious organizations are doing the same, it is just that I am tired of the Pope acting like this is a religious or humanitarian issue when it is all about big bucks.

I personally think these charities need to step up and care for illegals while they wait to be deported, at the expense of the charity and those that knowingly and willingly donate for that. Taxpayers have paid enough already!

Vatican State: 7 refugees approved by Francis. With population of 800, that’s more than any other nation in the world.

Trump is an excellent negotiator. We’ll see how this goes.

I’ve always maintained that Global Warming/climate change movement is a religion, not science. The Pope is as much as saying I’m right!

Poop Francis: Sit down and shut up. Pope Paul was a good pope. You aren’t.
