The Francis And The Donald

Analysis: Pope shines spotlight on GOP minority challenges:

Pope Francis on Thursday shined an international spotlight on the intra-party debate when, asked about Trump's call to build a massive wall on the U.S.-Mexican border, he said those who seek to build walls instead of bridges are not Christian.

Yet their day on the trail was overshadowed by Pope Francis' extraordinary reply to a question about Trump and his focus on building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border to stem illegal immigration. "I say only that this man is not Christian if he has said things like that," Francis said.

The pope probably thinks that he is shaming Donald Trump. I think that he is giving Trump a compliment. This does not mean that I support Trump's wall, however.
