"a person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not of building bridges is not christian," the pope said. adding, pointedly, "this man is not christian if he has said things like that." a staggering papal denunciation and it came after a week of francis in mexico, again and
6:33 pm
charged political message. like those scenes in juarez, a few feet from the u.s. border, francis giving his blessing across the rio grande to undocumented immigrants in the u.s. and then demanding that more be done for all desperate migrants.
