| Pope On Trump: Anyone Who Wants Border Walls Isn't Christian | |
| 2016-02-19 | |
[HOSTED.AP.ORG] Pope Francis said Thursday that Donald Trump is "not Christian" if he wants to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border.
The rare back-and-forth between pontiff and presidential candidate was the latest astonishing development in a U.S. presidential race that has been roiled by Trump's freewheeling rhetoric and controversial policy proposals, particularly on immigration. 'The Power of Myth'...perhaps Joseph Campbell should be prayerfully re-examined. | |

| #11 Since Donald is Presbyterian the pope crossed more than national lines in condemning him. |

| #10 When the Pope sends his armies to protect Christians in the Holy Land, then maybe I'll consider his view on walls. |

| #8 Newc beat me to it--but perhaps it would do the Pope good to read the book of Nehemiah in the Bible first... |

| #7 From a different article on today's 'Burg: Hungary's prime minister went on to assail those in the EU who see Hungary's desire to protect its ethnic and Christian roots as a "voice from the Dark Ages." |

| #6 In "13 Hours," Michael Bay's new movie about the real-life September 11, 2012 attack on two U.S. compounds in Benghazi, Libya, one super-tough CIA security contractor reads from Joseph Campbell's "The Power of Myth." The quote doesn't stick thanks to a plangent sound mix that prioritizes explosions over wordplay, but the title of the book is more than enough to make Bay’s point. Link |

| #4 Bad decision on the Pope's part. No doubt he had bias toward Latin Americans. |

| #3 I wonder how much Donald paid for that endorsement? In the comment section over at Instaprof, the wall around the Vatican was erected to protect it from roving Muslim (Religion of Peace) pirates of the time. |

| #1 The Pope is not qualified to judge a Christian because he does not follow the doctrine of Christ. This Pope is a Socialist anti-Christ. |
