Roman Catholic Pope, Pope Francis Has Warned Against Building 'walls' Ahead of the US Presidential Election
Pope Francis
On Saturday evening, while addressing the Third World Meeting of Popular Movements at the Vatican, the Roman Catholic Pope, Pope Francis warned against building 'walls', saying tyranny doesn't find support unless it taps into people's fears.
Donald Trump's proposal to build a wall between the United States and Mexico has been a major focus point of his campaign mantra, but the Pope, without directly calling out the U.S Republican presidential candidate, stated clearly that 'all walls fall', saying God doesn't want a life of enclosure of banishment for his children.
"No tyranny finds support without tapping
into our fears," Francis said. "This is key.
Hence, all tyranny is terrorist. And when
this terror -- which was sown in the
peripheries, with the massacres, looting,
oppression and injustice -- explodes in
centers with different forms of violence,
even hateful and cowardly attacks, citizens
who still retain some rights are tempted to
the false security of physical or social
walls. "Walls that enclose some and banish
others.
Walled citizens, terrified on one side,
excluded, exiled, and still more terrified on
the other. Is that the life that our Father
God wants for their children? "Dear brothers
and sisters -- all walls fall. All of them.
Do not be fooled."
