An Open Letter To Pope Francis

Pope Francis, you visited Mexico recently and before flying home you threw some quick criticism at Donald Trump, saying he is “not Christian.”

Donald Trump hasn't concerned himself with making friends and he saw the attack by you so weak and unworthy of his time that he barely even retaliated, but there is a bigger issue here then you versus Trump. Pope Francis, stay out of American politics!

You condemned Donald Trump for his stance on immigration and his declaration to build a wall. You said that “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian,”

Well Francis, for starters building a wall isn’t a brand new idea that Donald Trump thought of by himself. Second Trump’s immigration policy, although tweaked, is a very conservative policy. You just declared war on conservative ideology as a whole with that statement.

You see Francis, you would have us build a bridge instead of a wall, so that we don’t deter, but rather invite these people into our homes. These people being the Mexicans that live in one of the most violent regions on this side of the globe.

No one would even be talking about building a wall if there wasn’t a steady stream of violence and drugs moving north at a constant rate. I’m sure that’s not your concern though is it Francis.

Let’s take a look at your home, the Vatican. Last time I checked you had some pretty big walls yourself Francis. Why don’t you have the Swiss guard that protects you 24/7 tear down those walls right before you send them home. After all, as a good Christian you don’t need to hide out behind armed guards.

Don’t stop there though, you’re no hypocrite, so you should also pay to have a bridge built connecting Rome to the middle east. Metaphorically of course. So that you can speak openly and lovingly with ISIS and Al Qaeda, really open up to them. The Christian way.

You see Francis, you are a hypocrite. You took a jab at the GOP front runner because you don’t like the man, not because you don’t like his policies. You later said that you didn’t want to influence American Catholic voters, but you are the Pope you do influence them. So stop!

In the United States we have this thing called separation of church and state which means you don’t get to have your say in our politics. Stay out of our business and we’ll stay out of yours. Besides if you really are a caring, compassionate Christian, then why don’t you let refugees come live with you, in the Vatican…
