Pope is a Dope Alert: Claims Trump is "not Christian" for wanting to build wall on Mexican border...

The man who lives behind a very high wall  for security doesn't want us to have one.

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) -- Thrusting himself into the heated American presidential campaign, Pope Francis declared Thursday that Donald Trump is "not Christian" if he wants to address illegal immigration only by building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Trump fired back ferociously, saying it was "disgraceful" for a religious leader to question a person's faith.
The rare back-and-forth between pontiff and presidential candidate was the latest astonishing development in an American election already roiled by Trump's free-wheeling rhetoric and controversial policy proposals, particularly on immigration. It also underscored the popular pope's willingness to needle U.S. politicians on hot-button issues.

Pope is a Dope Alert: Unfettered capitalism is “the dung of the devil”

Worst Pope in my lifetime...

Via The Telegraph:
Pope Francis on Thursday launched a blistering attack on the “new colonialism” of austerity, describing unfettered capitalism as “the dung of the devil” and apologising for the Catholic church’s role in the conquest of indigenous populations in the Americas.
He delivered a powerful mea culpa on the part of the church in the highlight of his South American pilgrimage, “humbly” begging forgiveness during an encounter in Bolivia with indigenous groups and other activists and in the presence of Bolivia’s first-ever indigenous president, Evo Morales.

Capitalism has done more to provide food, medicine and technology to people than any other economic system.

Interesting: The Pope has a Harley...

Yes.  Pope Francis has a Harley Davidson motorcycle and it's for sale!

Via ABC News:
Pope Francis is selling his Harley Davidson motorcycle.
The pope, known for riding through Buenos Aires on a bus and taking to the streets of Rome in a modest Ford Focus, plans to see the chopper auctioned off next month with the proceeds going to charity, according to the auction house.
The 1,585 cc Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide was presented to the pope as a gift from the motorcycle company in June 2013.

Unlikely: Acting Venezuelan President thinks spirit of Hugo Chavez may be responsible for Latin American Pope

 I am guessing Hugo Chavez is now somewhere south of Jesus location where the smell of sulfur hangs heavy in the air.
(Reuters) – Late Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez’s influence may have stretched into the afterlife and had a hand in Christ’s decision to opt for a Latin American Pope, acting President Nicolas Maduro said on Wednesday.
“We know that our commander ascended to the heights and is face-to-face with Christ,” Maduro said at a Caracas book fair. “Something influenced the choice of a South American pope, someone new arrived at Christ’s side and said to him: ‘Well, it seems to us South America’s time has come.’”
Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina was elected in a surprise choice to be the new leader of the Roman Catholic Church on Wednesday, the first non-European pope in nearly 1,300 years.
“He (Chavez) may also call a constitutional assembly in Heaven at any moment to change the (Catholic) church on Earth so the people, the pure people of Christ, may govern the world,” Maduro added of his mentor.
