Today, His Holiness declared The Donald not to be a Christian asserting that Christians don’t build walls – they build bridges. This is said by a man who richly lives in a palace surround by impregnable 50′ walls that are protected by armed guards! He presides over a flock including millions of impoverished believers, believers who can’t imagine living with His wealth, materiality, or even his discarded table scraps.
Further, any practicing Christian knows that it is un-Christlike to declare the professed faith of another to be invalid. This is the Vicar of Christ, the “earthly representative of God?”
The sheer unseemliness of The Holy Father to declare a private citizen unfaithful for practicing secular politics in a sovereign state is evidence that He is a “Progressive” and dedicated to wrecking social order, even his own Institution.
And no, we do not support The Donald, still. But, as we don’t question Mr. Obama’s commitment as he lives it, we resent The Pope derogating anyone’s Faith. It is un-Christian.
