ROME -- Pope Francis said Donald Trump's plans to impose mass deportations of immigrants would be a "disgrace," as he weighed in on the incoming U.S. president's pledges nearly a decade after calling him "not Christian" for wanting to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border.

Francis made the comments during an appearance at an evening talk show, and then followed up Monday with an official telegram of congratulations to Trump on the day of his inauguration. Francis said he prayed that America would live up to its ideals of being a "land of opportunity and welcome for all."

"It is my hope that under your leadership the American people will prosper and always strive to build a more just society, where there is no room for hatred, discrimination or exclusion," he wrote in the telegram.

History's first Latin American pope was asked Sunday night about the Trump administration pledges of deportations during an appearance on a popular Italian talk show, Che Tempo Che Fa.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Do the letters F. O. mean anything to you, fake Pope?
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Catholics have been dwindling in numbers since Francis came to be Pope.

Sorta like Democrats and Biden

Interesting, considering that Vatican City has one of the strictest immigration policies in all of Europe.  I suggest the Pope lead by example and allow ten million immigrants to settle there and start collecting free shit from the Catholic Church for the next decade or two.  Free healthcare.  Free education.  Free room and board.  Free everything.  And the Pope's national government can pick up the tab.

Hypocrite!
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

That's right. The Pope wants to tear the church down in order to 'rebuild' it in HIS image.
This is what all extreme Leftists want to do to everything good in the world.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

I hear his hollowness is going to freeze holy water and call them Popecicles, sell them in grocery stores, and donate the income to Palestinian relief. :whistle:

The U.S. Catholic Church feels it has to speak out on President Trump's immigration policies, "which we see as going against some of the basic tenants of our faith, frankly — the fundamental right of every human person that need to be respected, no matter their origin, no matter their situation," says Bishop Mark Seitz, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' committee on migration. Seitz also says Pope Francis "certainly is paying attention" to the administration's actions. https://x.com/i/status/1882564538463105386

Oh do they? Does the Catholic Church that got over $600 million in FY 2024 for ACF immigrant assistance want the illegal immigrants to stay?
Do they? Do they want that?
