Thoughts on Pope's Comment about Trump


Whether you support Trump or not, Bill Wilson makes some good points regarding the Pope's comment about his Christianity. There are many things about Pope Francis to admire, but perhaps his interjection of his opinion into the American political process is not one of them.

Pope Declares Trump "Not Christian" by Bill Wilson

The Pope has said that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is not Christian because he advocates building a wall to protect the US borders from illegal immigration.

AP reports that Pope Francis said: "A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the gospel."

Apparently, Pope Francis doesn't know his Bible. I am not aware that Jesus or the disciples built physical bridges in the gospel. There are, however, references in the Bible where God's people rebuild the wall in Jerusalem to protect it from invaders.

The Pope's replacement theology says they don't count. Also, have you seen the wall around the Vatican?

Politics or replacement theology, the Pope is wrong on both accounts. He is not a citizen of the US and has no say in our elective process other than to sway blind followers or communist think-alike leftists who subscribe to his brand of socialist "religion."

Keep in mind that the Pope has all but admitted he is a socialist and remember that the socialist/communist manifesto bans all religion and morals.

As Jesus said in Matthew 6:24, "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other."

So which is it, Francis, communism or God; socialism or God; politics or God; twisted theology or the Holy scriptures; mammon or God?

To his credit, Trump didn't hesitate to call out the Pope on his folly.

AP reports that Trump shot back within minutes, saying, "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."

The AP reporter aboard the Papal Plane revealed his bias and added, "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."

It seems that anyone who challenges the media's concept of socialism or socialism's spokesmen, is "freewheeling" and "controversial." There is no greater controversy than the leader of an entire religion who twists God's word into what he wants it to be and believes that allah and YHVH God are the same.

On Wednesday, March 20, 2013, Pope Francis welcomed an ecumenical group of religious leaders who attended his inauguration by saying, "I greet and thank cordially all of you, dear friends belonging to other religious traditions; firstly the Muslims, who worship the one living and merciful God, and call upon Him in prayer."

And the Pope has the audacity to say Trump is not a Christian because he wants to build a wall?
