Pope Francis 1 - trump 0
Call it a casual remark. Call it a pointed statement. Call it a political move. Regardless, Pope Francis called out Donald Trump as "Not a Christian." Pope Francis is correct, and like any of us, he has the right to call out anyone who "SAYS THEY ARE A CHRISTIAN" AND WHO IS "NOT PRACTICING THEIR RELIGION."
The "Political Pulpit" has long been a fact of life in every Protestant Church in the world. If you go to Westminster Abbey Church ~ you will find Charles Darwin's grave IN THE CHURCH. Yet Fundamentalist Protestant Christian's rail against Evolution. The Catholic Church rails against one political issue: ABORTION. If Donald Trump ever went to church, he would know all of these things. But he doesn't go to Church? Well, that is one criteria that was used against Muhammad Ali when he was questioned about his Muslim belief.
If it took Muhammad Ali nearly 7 years to prove his innocence to the U.S. Supreme Court that he indeed was a practicing Muslim in order to protest and serve the US Army in The Vietnam War, then the Religious Head of the Catholic Church has every right under God to say if someone is not a CHRISTIAN.
Rampaging Evangelicals and Fundamentalist Christians have called many sinners ~ NOT CHRISTIAN. Jerry Falwell said that Larry Flynt was NOT A CHRISTIAN. And let us be honest, ALL PROTESTANTS ARE TAUGHT THAT ANY POPE IS THE DEVIL. I have been ridiculed by Protestants my whole life for my Catholic Religion. I have been told by these "Holy" people that I am not a "CHRISTIAN". To all of them, to trump and to any one else loving themselves and mammon more than God and Jesus Christ ~ YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN; change your ways and you will practice your Christianity and YOU WILL BE A CHRISTIAN.
