By Dean James AMERICA’S FREEDOM FIGHTERS–
Pope Francis thrust himself into the political arena the other day when he took on none other than GOP front-runner Donald Trump by saying Trump “is not Christian” if he calls for the deportation of undocumented immigrants and pledges to build a wall between the United States and Mexico.
The liberal Pope said, “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not the gospel.”
Personally I think the Pope should stick to religion. And I think that he may want to look at where he lives.
Trump fired back at the Pope’s comments calling them “disgraceful.”
“No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man’s religion or faith,” Trump said.
“If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is ISIS’s ultimate trophy, I can promise you that the Pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been president,” Trump said.

The Great Reverend Franklin Graham weighed in on the Pope’s comments about Trump building a wall on his Facebook page:
The Pope has suggested that Donald J. Trump is not Christian because he wants to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico. He said, “A person who thinks only about building walls wherever they may be and not building bridges is not Christian.”
I agree that as Christians we should try to build bridges with everyone that we possibly can, but that doesn’t mean that we should compromise our national security.
Donald Trump isn’t the only one who wants to build a wall—other Republican candidates Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Dr. Ben Carson, and John Kasich as well as millions of Americans, also want to build a wall—in order to protect America from enemies who want to use the U.S./Mexican border as a way to enter our country and do us harm. Are they not Christian either?
My advice to the Pontiff—reach out and build a bridge to Donald Trump. Who knows where he may be this time next year!
As always, Reverend Graham is spot on.
This Pope is seemingly the most liberal Pope in the history of… well-POPE’S!
It’s almost like he has never read the Bible at times. I am not an expert on Popes frankly but I will say I am not a big fan.
God Bless.
