Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | That's an awfully mild response by Trump. I wonder who really wrote it. The pope lives inside high walls to keep out the world, yet he;s says Trump is not a Christian because he wants a wall? If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Man oh man, the Pope has got to stop doing these crazy on the plane interviews. I just wanted to point out that I wonder if there is any other country in the world that you can enter as freely as the Vatican. Any nationality at all can walk into the grand Piazza San Pietro and visit the awesome Basilica of St. Peter. There is no passport control and no wall stopping anyone from visiting. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

It's not really a country. You can't arrive there without passing through Italy, where passport controls are well in place. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Passport controls don't make a country. Being an enclave doesn't make it not a country. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

Being he is from Latin America the Pope clearly is taking sides here. You are right, he needs to not get involved. The President is a fink. |

When I was there all you could visit were the museums and the Sistine Chapel. The Vatican itself does not allow tourists. After a 2 hour wait in line it's just another over crowded EU tourist trap. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Losing the Vatican estates and being beholden to Italy makes it not a country. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

I was curious as to exactly what he said. Thank God he said I am a politician because Aristotle defined the human person as an 'animal politicus' (a political animal). So at least I am a human person. As to whether I am a pawn, well, maybe, I don't know. I'll leave that up to your judgment and that of the people. 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.” When asked “if an American Catholic could vote for a person like this?” Francis responded, “As far as what you said about whether I would advise to vote or not to vote, I am not going to get involved in that. I say only that this man is not Christian if he says things like that.” Then, in relation to Trump, he added, “We must see if he said things in that way and in this I give the benefit of the doubt.” |
