_______________________________________________________________In a speech delivered at the Vatican just three days before the U.S. presidential election, Pope Francis urged social justice activists from around the world not to give into the politics of fear by building walls but instead work to build bridges.“Because fear—as well as being a good deal for the merchants of arms and death—weakens and destabilizes us, destroys our psychological and spiritual defenses, numbs us to the suffering of others,” he said.“In the end,” he continued, “it makes us cruel.”The pope did not mention the Nov. 8 U.S. election, but many of the themes he touched on have played out in debates between Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton in recent months.For example, the pope reiterated his plea for nations to respond more generously to the global refugee crisis, which he blamed on “an unjust socio-economic system and wars.”He pointed specifically to the hundreds of thousands of people who have died in the Mediterranean Sea seeking entry into Europe in recent years and, he said, “no one should be forced to flee their homeland.”…On the issue of migration more generally, Francis devoted several minutes of the speech to condemning “physical and social walls” that “close in some and exclude others.”Mr. Trump has proposed building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, which led to a tussle with the pope earlier this year.In February, following a visit to the border, the pope said in response to a question from a journalist that politicians who propose building walls instead of bridges are “not Christian,” leading to objections from the Trump campaign. The Vatican later clarified the remark, saying that the pope was not speaking about specific candidates….The pope said on Saturday that Christians should not give into the temptation to build walls, even in the face of “hateful and cowardly attacks,” a reference to global terrorism.“Dear Brothers and Sisters,” he said, “all walls fall.”…Francis said “mercy is the best antidote against fear” and that it “is much more effective than walls, that barbed wire fences, than alarms and arms, and it is free. It is the gift of God.”He also touched on the need for individuals at the grassroots level “to revitalize” democracy around the world that are imperiled due to “the enormous power of economic and media groups that seem to dominate” and repeated his condemnation of placing money above human beings.Christians have a duty, he said, to be active in political life, but he warned against corruption and arrogance.“Anyone who is too attached to material things or the mirror, who likes money, lush banquets, sumptuous mansions, refined suits, luxury cars,” he said, should avoid going into politics—as well as the seminary. Instead, political leaders must lead by example, living frugally and humbly.Francis also offered some advice on how to fight terrorism and oppression, saying, “the best antidote is love. Love heals everything.”
“‘Because fear, as well as being a good deal for the merchants of arms and death, weakens and destabilizes us, destroys our psychological and spiritual defenses, numbs us to the suffering of others,’ he said. ‘In the end, it makes us cruel.'”
“For example, the pope reiterated his plea for nations to respond more generously to the global refugee crisis, which he blamed on ‘an unjust socio-economic system and wars.’“He pointed specifically to the hundreds of thousands of people who have died in the Mediterranean Sea seeking entry into Europe in recent years and, he said, ‘no one should be forced to flee their homeland.’ …“On the issue of migration more generally, Francis devoted several minutes of the speech to condemning ‘physical and social walls’ that ‘close in some and exclude others.'”
“The Twitter timeline of Pope Francis is exactly what you would expect: a delightful medley of prayers, blessings, and occasional charming pop culture references. This weekend, though, His Holiness showed that he has mastered the art of the sub-tweet, too. Although he did not name Donald Trump in a prepared address the Pope delivered on Saturday, he did offer a stern warning to a particular type of person who might consider seeking elected office:“‘Anyone who is too attached to material things or the mirror, who likes money, lush banquets, sumptuous mansions, refined suits, luxury cars, I would advise you to look at what is happening in your heart and pray for God to release you from those bonds.’“The only thing missing from this riff is Pope Francis staring directly into the camera and saying something like ‘Also, I mean this big league.’ In the same speech, he called for countries to show more compassion for refugees fleeing Syria and elsewhere, a subject on which Catholic officials have previously stood up to, among others, Trump’s vice presidential candidate. And just for good measure, Pope Francis sharply criticized would-be leaders who want to construct ‘physical and social walls’—hey, does that ring any bells?—that ‘close in some and exclude others.’ I understand that the Pope is a staid, reserved religious leader who is nearly 80 years old, but still, it’s fun to imagine him bellowing this mic drop-worthy line in Christian Bale’s Batman voice: ‘Brothers and sisters, all walls fall. All of them. Do not be fooled.’“Normally, I would eagerly await the inevitable unhinged tweetstorm of a response, but Donald Trump’s handlers have succeeded in wresting control of the world’s most famous extremely rude Twitter account for the election’s final days, so it looks like Trump takes the L on this one. I have a feeling that it’s the first of several to come this week.”
