The Pope not only has massive walls, but a force of 110 personal bodyguards armed with the following weapons: SIG P220 (P75) Glock 19 Steyr TMP Heckler & Koch MP5A3 Heckler & Koch MP7A1 SIG SG 550 Who take the following oath: quote:I swear I will faithfully, loyally and honourably serve the Supreme Pontiff Francis and his legitimate successors, and also dedicate myself to them with all my strength, sacrificing if necessary also my life to defend them. I assume this same commitment with regard to the Sacred College of Cardinals whenever the see is vacant. Furthermore I promise to the Commanding Captain and my other superiors, respect, fidelity and obedience. There is no  big enough for the Pope's hypocrisy in telling other people to "build bridges instead of walls" when he lives in opulence behind giant walls protected by his own private army.

Jewel Repetition posted:Will the endorsements from Obama and the Pope help Trump in SC? I'd guess yes, SC is mostly the sects of Christianity that don't like the pope all that much and US conservative catholics tend not to not like this current pope very much either. What you will find is that how liberal catholic church is will be more a function of the surrounding environment (more liberal on the east coast, conservative in the midwest and south, etc.) than any sort of top down thing you might expect from the rigid hierarchical structure of the church. Pope says climate change real, so what ; sort of thing. They probably loved every second of Trump hitting back. If the issue stays alive it could hurt him in the long run, but this will probably be rapidly drowned out of the news cycle by other things like syria. I also think the majority of americans will find the pope interjecting politically distasteful but who knows- it will be interesting to see what polling says on that (I assume someone will ask).

More people than you'd think, but not as many in the US as elsewhere. A good portion of Catholics opposed to birth control/abortion are really just opposed to it on paper and would rather just not think about it at all, considering it not terribly relevant. The drums of war against those in the US are primarily evangelical

Just for a second...imagine. Next year, 2017, will be the 500th birthday of the Protestant Reformation. We could find ourselves under President Donald Trump, a man who now has a personal, public grudge against the Roman Pontiff. Imagine the festivities Trump will organize. Martin Luther Day, a new federal holiday just to spite Rome? People around the country hammering sheets of paper onto church doors?

I think the pope really phrased his comment poorly. Something like "I don't think a good Christian should support building a wall" is relatively inoffensive and is just stating an opinion on moral behavior. Instead he just flat out declared "A person who thinks only about building walls — wherever they may be — and not building bridges, is not Christian". That seems very judgmental on the inner state of someone's spiritual identity. It also makes it easy for Trump's supporters to project themselves into the situation. (Is the Pope saying that because I support building the wall I'm not a Christian? Who does he think he is to pass judgement on me!?)
