The Vatican is completely surrounded by WALLS to keep out any and all immigrants and or EVERYONE else. Why can the USA also not have these same walls? This can only be responded to by the Pope himself, so is the Pope a Christian.
If you are upset because the pope said we should care for all these illegal immigrants I cannot blame you. I, too, think we need a wall. But the pope speaks off the cuff and generalizes about a Christian’s duty to care for the poor quite often. I do not think he feels he should be in the business of detailing plans for nations. I also disagree with his ideas about M.E. refugees coming to Europe. So, yes, the pope does speak quickly because he feels their pain. But this pope has also done and said many great things to bring people far more aware of God and their own mortality. This is a very good measure. I would be curious to know what your definition of "Christian" is since you are questioning the pope's credentials?
The Vatican City is the smallest country in the world with the smallest population. It is only 110 acres and has about 800 total population. It cannot house refugee families, it cannot even house many of its own officials or embassies. Just because it has walls surrounding most of its borders does not mean it is keeping people out. There are over 25,000 visitors who come to the Vatican each day. I’m not sure who is not allowed to come in?
