'Builders of walls, be they made of razor wire or bricks, will end up becoming prisoners of the walls they build,' he said. ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE, March 31 (Reuters) - Pope Francis said on Sunday that political leaders who want walls and other barriers to keep migrants out "will end up becoming prisoners of the walls they build". The pope made his comments to reporters aboard the plane returning from Morocco in response to a question about migration in general and about U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to shut down the southern border with Mexico. "Builders of walls, be they made of razor wire or bricks, will end up becoming prisoners of the walls they build," he said. Francis, who did not mention Trump in his response, has sparred with the U.S. president before over migration, which was a theme of several questions on the plane as well as during the trip to Morocco. Trump has declared a national emergency to justify redirecting money earmarked for the military to pay for his promised U.S.-Mexico border wall. "I realize that with this problem (of migration), a government has a hot potato in its hands, but it must be resolved differently, humanely, not with razor wire," the Argentine-born pope said on the plane. Addressing Moroccan leaders on Saturday, Francis said that problems of migration would never be resolved by physical barriers but instead required social justice and correcting the world's economic imbalances. "With fear, we will not move forward, with walls, we will remain closed within these walls," he said on Sunday. Besides the United States, migration has again risen to the fore of national political debates in a number of North African and European countries. On the plane, Francis repeated some of the key points of his views on migration. He said wealthy countries should help eliminate the root causes of migration such as poverty, war and political instability. Migrants should be accepted, protected and integrated and if a country cannot handle the numbers, the migrants should be distributed among other countries, he said.
Poster Comment: This phony pope 'heads' a religion invented 60 years ago to replace the Christian Church founded by Jesus Christ. Anything he says comes from the lips of Satan as he is a dedicated Communist.

The Holy Father was so eager to get his brand to market that he mispelled "Jesus". That's a good capitalist, eager to cash in on the latest new Pope fad! October 10, 2013 / 8:47 PM / CBS News Apparently the Vatican wasn't using spell check. The Holy See has recalled thousands of commemorative papal medals after the word "Jesus" was misspelled as "Lesus." According to the Vatican Information Service, more than 6,000 of the medals were produced by the Italian State Mint to commemorate the beginning of Francis' papacy. The medal features a portrait of Francis on one side and on the other, a Latin phrase that the future pontiff says inspired him as a teenager to pursue the priesthood: "Vidit ergo Jesus publicanum et quia miserando antque eligendo vidit, ait illi sequere me." (Translation: "Jesus, therefore, saw the publican, and because he saw by having mercy and by choosing, He said to him, 'Follow me'"). However, the letter "J" in Jesus was mistakenly replaced with the letter "L." The Telegraph reports that the medals - 200 in gold, 3,000 in silver and 3,000 in bronze - were withdrawn after being put on sale at the Vatican Publishing House in St Peter's Square. The Catholic News Service reported via Twitter that four of the medals had already been sold and will become valuable collector's items.
