The President of the United States is feuding with the Bishop of
Rome, and Trump just had a ‘drop the mic’ moment with the pontiff. On one side of this dispute is Donald J. Trump, who took an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. On the other side is Pope Francis, a Argentinian Jesuit who was thoroughly indoctrinated by South American liberation theologians. Trump wants to protect America, and the Pope wants to unite the world globally under the banner of Rome.
The men with two different missions locked horns yesterday as Trump gave a scathing rebuke of Pope Francis’ constant chastisement of United States immigration policy, which is among the most charitable in the world. The U.S. takes in more than 1.2 million immigrants a year, which is among the highest in the world. Nearly 13.5 percent of those inside America’s borders were born outside America, a demographic and statistical limit to be able to maintain American cultural unity.
In spite of American generosity, Pope Francis has been constantly dinging Trump in speeches across the world, primarily centered on Trump’s insistence to do his job by enforcing already-existent immigration law and building a border wall that was already approved by Congress.
On Thursday, Donald Trump had enough of the Pope’s undermining of American sovereignty. At a cabinet meeting, Trump told the media that the Vatican and the Pope himself proves that American immigration policy – and the border wall – are moral.
When they say the wall’s immoral, well then you got to do something about the Vatican, because the Vatican has the biggest wall of them all.Trump continued, “Look at all of the countries that have walls, and they work 100 percent. It’s never going to change. A wall is a wall.
This isn’t the first time the two figures have tangled over the issue of American sovereignty versus globalism. In 2016, Pope Francis said that building “walls rather than bridges” wasn’t Christian. Trump responded by saying that if the Vatican walls were scaled by ISIS the Pope would be thankful he were president.
President Trump is factually correct. The Vatican has one of the most impressive border walls in the world.
The Pope has thus far ignored Trump’s recent comments. He is in the Vatican, behind its walls, currently dealing with the massive Roman Catholic sex abuse scandals throughout the world.
In the meantime, President Trump should point out that the Pope isn’t the only religious leader with a border wall. Christ Jesus also has one in Heaven.
[The Holy City] had a great, high wall, with twelve gates…Revelation 21:10______________________________________________________________

“Epiphany is the religious feast day celebrated by millions of
Christians around the world on January 6. As is usual on the holy day,
Pope Francis gave a mass to 60,000 people in St Peter’s Basilica, Rome.”Unfortunately, Pope Francis decided that he would use his powerful role once again to force the political agenda of globalism and wide-open borders upon the flock. He delivered a brazen appeal:
“I make a heartfelt appeal to European leaders to show concrete solidarity for these people.”He claimed that migrants were only “seeking a safe port where they can disembark.” This simply isn’t true.
The UK’s Home Secretary Sajid Javid, for example, “is set to tighten rules on migrants who continue to ‘asylum shop’ and exploit Britain’s generous immigration system by travelling through other safe countries in Europe to the UK.”
The Pope remains safely “walled up” at the Vatican surrounded by guards while he appeals to Europe to fling open their doors to illegal migrants.
The Pope has abandoned his responsibility to guide the Catholic Church and has made himself into a puppet for the globalist cause. His statements are increasingly bizarre. He has called gossipers “terrorists,” but but not Islamic jihadis. He has also compared illegal migrants to Jesus, while a Vatican official said that the hunted Christian Asia Bibi was an “internal matter” of Pakistan. Pope Francis even called Christians who were murdered by Muslims in Algeria a “testament to God’s plan for a peaceful coexistence of Christians and Muslims.”
“Epiphany 2019 pope appeal: ‘Show concrete SOLIDARITY’ – Pope Francis migrant plea to EU,” by Kat Hopps, Express, January 6, 2019:
POPE Francis has used Epiphany 2019 to launch a “heartfelt appeal” to European leaders following an escalating migrant dispute – here is what you need to know.
Epiphany is the religious feast day celebrated by millions of Christians around the world on January 6. As is usual on the holy day, Pope Francis gave a mass to 60,000 people in St Peter’s Basilica, Rome. But the Catholic leader also used his platform to wade into an international diplomatic row about migrants trying to enter European waters. The dispute between Catholic nations Italy and Malta centres around 49 migrants rescued by German humanitarian group Sea-Watch 3.
The passengers were plucked from two unsafe vessels travelling out of Libya on December 22 and December 29.
Both Italy and Malta have refused entry to both groups, one of which includes three small children and four children.
Now, Pope Francis has intervened, making his views heard on one of the biggest religious festivals of the year.
Addressing his comments to St Peter’s Square on Sunday, Pope Francis said: “I make a heartfelt appeal to European leaders to show concrete solidarity for these people.”
The Pope added the migrants concerned were only “seeking a safe port where they can disembark”…..
