I guess I missed something. I didn't see or hear what was actually said so I don't know all the facts.
However, I'm assuming the Pope was addressing a group of people who have strong emotions regarding a wall between Mexico and the USA. Further, from what I have heard, the Pope didn't identify Donald Trump by name. He simply stated that building a wall was not a Christian-Like thing to do. Others took it from there.
I'm thinking that if someone had brought the subject of abortion up, the Pope would have made a similar comment.
In my opinion, the church should stay away from government and political issues. But it doesn't mean he can't express his opinion as to what is Christian-Like or what is not.
Finally, when are we going to understand that people in special positions require special security. That security is protecting that position, not that person.
I don't want nor do i need much personal security, but if i were the Pope or a President, King or Queen of a country I could definitely see the need for increased security.
My fear of Mr. Trump is that these are topics that will alienate the USA from the rest of the world under his Presidency. We don't live on an island, we're part of the world and have to recognize that. 4951
