The Vatican today executed a speedy climb-down in its feud with Donald Trump–handing the Republican White House hopeful a major political victory.
Pope Francis’s suggestion that Trump was ‘not Christian’ because of his views on immigration was not a personal attack on the candidate, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said on Friday.
Lombardi told Vatican radio that the pope’s comments, which were denounced by Trump, were simply an affirmation of his longstanding belief that migrants should be helped and welcomed rather than shut off behind walls.
He also leaned toward confirming Trump’s contention that his statement that Trump was ‘not a Christian’ was based largely on ‘what he was told’ about the billionaire’s position.

Trump wins again.
ReplyDeleteFirst to the Pope- Judge not lest ye be judged. Second even the Pope can't stand up to Donald. Anyone really think he can't handle the military?
ReplyDeleteAlso, don't think he was talking about just Trump he was talking about anyone who wants basic immigration policies. This pope.......something is not right. Time for American Catholics to start really listening to what he says and look at who he surrounds himself with.
