The Pope’s speech comes shortly after Trump called for a wall to be built around the border. The more reports that come in of the Pope’s time in America, the more haunting the similarities between him and President Obama become, the most prevalent of which, seems to be how much they enjoy going to other countries and trying to tell their governments how to run things.
“Do not forget what happened here over two centuries ago. Do not forget the declaration which said all men and women were created equally — to be equal — that governments exist to protect and defend these rights.”
The speech seemed to be a nod towards Donald Trump’s views on immigration from Mexico. Just yesterday, at the Oklahoma State Fair, the Republican presidential front runner said: “Mexico… I love Mexico — I love the Mexican people, thousands of them work for me — but we’ve gotta build a wall on the border.
“We’re gonna build a wall and we’re gonna have a door in the wall where people who wanna come in can come in legally.”
The crowd erupted in cheers as Pope Francis stepped out of Independence Hall on Saturday to give a speech on religious freedom and immigration. He kept his composure as the hood of his white cloak blew into his face, brushing it aside on what was a windy afternoon.
Standing before this city’s iconic Independence Hall, Pope Francis gave a ringing endorsement of religious freedom and immigration on Saturday, urging his American hosts to avoid a “superficial quest for unity.”
“In this witness, which frequently encounters powerful resistance,” the Pope said, “you remind American democracy of the ideals for which it was founded, and that society is weakened whenever and wherever injustice prevails.”
Drawing cheers from the large crowd on Independence Mall, where many of the faithful waved flags from countries such as Costa Rica and Mexico, the Argentine-born Francis urged his diverse flock to “never be ashamed of your traditions.”
The Pope has praised the country’s immigrant history during nearly every speech of his weeklong visit to the United States, which ends Sunday evening.
In the wake of it all, it’s hard to tell what’s more offensive, a liberal Pope who thinks he knows what’s best for America, or the fact that he tried to use our history to promote his agenda. If you go back and read the speech, you’ll notice a severe lack of religious matters in most of what he said.

Bull!
makes me ashamed to be Catholic, worse pope in my lifetime
This is the papal version of Obama.
Is there anything more absurd than getting our immigration advice from a Argentinian who hides in the Vatican behind a bunch of cute Swiss guards?
How many boat people has this affirmative action Pope taken into his home ?
I am agreeing with view point of His Highness Pope. All the people who believe in any of the major religions are bound to have mutual respect based on some harmless code but the recent ultra capitalistic approach of the big countries of the world has started over shadowing the prevailing moral, cultural and religious values in the world. The people like respectable Pope are being sidelined by the people like D. Trump.
