I am not Roman Catholic, therefore the ensuing comments should not be interpreted as some parishioner defending his Church's leader. Last week, Pope Francis said (and I paraphrase) 'people who build walls instead of bridges are not Christian.'
The obvious target of the Pontiff's lecture was GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump who has maintained if elected, he will build a wall along the Mexican border to keep illegals out of America. I suppose the Pope, who is obviously a compassionate man and wishes Christian love to conquer evil was simply speaking in metaphoric ideals. Come on folks, we all know what the Pope was attempting to communicate...'love thy neighbor....'
On the other hand if those bloviating political pundits wish to get all in dither over Pope Francis' comments then please consider the following words and thoughts by 'other' men of God...
Pastor Robert Jeffress (First Baptist Church-Dallas) said "Obama's re-election will lead to the anti-Christ."
Pastor Mike Bickel (International House of Prayer) states that Oprah is the forerunner to the anti-Christ.
Pastor John Hagee (Cornerstone Church) San Antonio, TX.) said, "Obama's treatment Benjamin Netanyahu will cause God to destroy America."
Bob Jones III, President of Bob Jones University has publicly questioned President Obama's Christianity. He has also stated that the Catholic religion is based upon a Satanic system.
Let's not give an ear to critics of the Pope's 'walls-bridges' comment in light of the many truly false prophets running around speaking for God and judging folks willy-nilly. And come to think of it, how could anyone in their right-mind offer Oprah as a forerunner to the anti-Christ before that of Rush Limbaugh? Oops, I sound like a television evangelist.
