Already having established himself as a man of the world rather than of God, the current Pope apparently is no longer content to tear down longstanding church doctrine, champion socialism, preach environmentalism, or parade himself in front of slobbering admirers whose vices he only encourages. Now he is attacking national sovereignty, labeling a presidential candidate (Trump) as "unchristian" for wanting to enforce his nation's borders. Let us just say that if this pontiff had been in charge during the Middle Ages, Europe would have been overrun by Muslims a long time ago, and he would have no lofty perch from which to scorn the very virtues that created it. As it stands, Europe is being overrun by criminals and rapists because of suicidal thinking such as his, and America has no Christian duty to follow suit.
Though I have no intention of voting for Trump (or anyone else), I will say this: he's a Presbyterian who has told the Pope to go to hell, and that warms my Presbyterian heart.
It's times like these I appreciate why Martin Luther ruptured from Rome in the first place. It was not because Rome's version of Christianity was too strict or demanding, but quite the opposite -- Rome's Christianity was worldly and corrupt. America was founded as a Protestant nation, Pope, so stay out of our business.
