Pope Francis is currently touring Central America. In Panama on Wednesday reporters asked the Pope about Trump’s border wall. He responded:
“It is the fear that makes us crazy.”
In 2016, after celebrating Mass on the Mexican side of the U.S. border, reporters asked Francis what he thought about Trump’s campaign promise to build a border wall. He said:
“A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not the gospel,”
While the Pope thinks Trump is a nutjob and not a Christian, he has for the most part remained silent on the scandalous sexual abuse of children by thousands of priests.
Me thinks Francis has the Church’s priorities all mixed up. Instead of slamming Trump and his wall, the Pope should do something about the hundreds-of-thousand children that have been molested by thousands of priests in the U.S. alone and countless priests all over the world.

It is crazy religious and political leaders that make me fearful.
I wonder when the Vatican will tear downs their walls?
