In going after Trump’s Christianity is Pope on Obama duty?

Was Pope Francis out on ‘Obama Duty’ when he declared that Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump is not a Christian? On Tuesday, Feb. 16 Obama stated that Donald Trump would never be president. On Thursday, Feb. 18 came the pontiff’s pronouncement that Trump is not Christian. The timing of both is as suspicious as the untimely death of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

“US President Barack Obama has dismissed the possibility of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump being elected president, saying Americans are too "sensible" to elect him. (PressTV, Feb. 17, 2017) (But not too “sensible” not to have twice elected him.)

"I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be president," Obama said on Tuesday at a news conference in Rancho Mirage, California after a meeting with southeast Asian leaders. "And the reason is that I have a lot of faith in the American people. Being president is a serious job. It's not hosting a talk show, or a reality show," he added.

But being ON talk and reality shows between rounds of golf is okey-dokey. It appears that Obama may have built the not-Christian bomb, then passed it to Pope Francis to hurl it.

Why is the Pope, whose job it is to save souls, entering -- in so bombastic a manner -- the American presidential election campaign? “Trump has accused Mexico of sending rapists and drug runners across the United States' southern border and has vowed if elected president to build a wall to keep out immigrants who enter illegally.” (Yahoo News, Feb. 18, 2016) Pope Francis, who told reporters in a conversation on his flight home from a visit to Mexico, "A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian,” seems to have left all bridges leading to the Vatican wide open. Affronted Trump Christian supporters came on the run to scale Vatican walls, laying bare the hypocrisy that the Vatican, more than anywhere else on earth, is surrounded by walls and also happens to have the most restrictive immigration/citizenship policies of any nation world-wide. How’s that for being Christian? The Donald got it right when he told the Fox Business Network last week, "The pope is a very political person ... I don't think he understands the danger of the open border that we have with Mexico.” You can say that again, Mr. Trump. And as for the pontiff seeming to be on Obama Duty by weighing in on the American presidential race, it should be remembered how Francis is reported to have gained papal power: ‘Further serious concerns are being raised about Cardinal Godfried Danneels, one of the papal delegates chosen to attend the upcoming Ordinary Synod on the Family, after the archbishop emeritus of Brussels confessed this week to being part of a radical "mafia" reformist group opposed to Benedict XVI. (National Catholic Register, Sept. 24, 2015)

“At the launch of the book in Brussels this week, the cardinal said he was part of a secret club of cardinals opposed to Pope Benedict XVI. He called it a "mafia" club that bore the name of St. Gallen. The group wanted a drastic reform of the Church, to make it "much more modern", and for Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio to head it. The group, which also comprised Cardinal Walter Kasper and the late Jesuit Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, has been documented in Austen Ivereigh's biography of Pope Francis, The Great Reformer.

Meanwhile, you don’t have to have the blessing of either Pope Francis or President Barack Obama to qualify as a Christian. Only God Almighty retains the right to proffer that Blessing.
