He has more to say about the wall builders than about homosexual unions, and with directness and conviction which his normal statements lack. I don't see the Vatican state letting in a ton of illegals. Build a bridge and let them in Pope Francis!

"A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not of building bridges, is not Christian. This is not the gospel. As far as what you said about whether I would advise to vote or not to vote, I am not going to get involved in that. I say only that this is man is not Christian if he has said things like that. We must see if he said things in that way and I will give him the benefit of the doubt.”
Note the "only", and the call of the Pontiff to build bridges. Note that the context was about breaking up families, not about armed invaders. Note the benefit of the doubt.
Feel free to eat words, including words conveying a sense of superiority to Mr Warren.
