    A dangerous “caravan” or our fellow human beings? What would Jesus do? Help them? Or build a wall? Francis knows. Donald just wants his wall. Pope Francis donates $500,000 to migrants at US border - ABC News - via @ABChttps://abcn.ws/2XPiFkk

        How about also acknowledging the massive child abuse by clergy too?

        Old Trump tactic. If the Catholic Church or anybody else criticizes what you’re doing, simply throw back at them something entirely different and that makes right. As a Protestant I disagree with the Catholic Church on a lot, but not on this. Francis is right. Donald is wrong.

        I am glad Pope Francis is donating toward supporting immigration but he has not taken any meaningful action on the child abuse beyond stating their should be action taken. It's not a Trump tactic. It's pointing out hypocrisy.

        That’s a different topic that I have addressed elsewhere. But people at our border are suffering. This is not a discussion of the other sins of people who want to help those who are desperately in need and are being persecuted by our own government.

        They are most certainly suffering. And you're right, perhaps this can be discussed elsewhere.

        I see, thank you. I was not trying to be hurtful or negative to you or anyone else. I hope that money helps those trying to get into our country for a better life. My ancestors did the same.

        It's not even a gray area. There are many verses, including: "The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 19:34" Good for Pope Francis!

        But @realDonaldTrump never got to read that part of the Bible. He’s too busy with his “evangelical” council of advisers. Whatever....

        What's next? Trump will give Pope Francis a derogatory nickname? @Pontifex is an amazing human being and he exemplifies the Christian spirit. This is something fake Christians like Trump know nothing about.

        Exactly right. We need more leaders — in church and state and every walk of life — who will follow the example of Francis.

        Pope Francis is truly a humanitarian. Probably one of the best popes we've had in awhile. Yet Steve Bannon is doing everything in his power to tarnish his image.

        Rich people love a gated community. They want to turn the whole USA into one.
