Donald Trump angrily responded to Pope Francis’ criticism by suggesting he’d be sorry for speaking out against him if Islamic State militants attacked the Vatican City.

The pope said Trump’s divisive rhetoric and proposal to build a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border were “not Christian” — and some fans of the Republican frontrunner accused the pontiff of hypocrisy.

Regarding the Pope, I could be wrong but isn't there a "wall" next to the Gates of Heaven? Even heaven isn't an "open" border. Trump — Jack Hennessey (@republic2016) February 18, 2016

Others defended Trump by suggesting that words have no meaning and it’s all just bullshit anyway.
