Donald Trump: Pope Francis is 'Disgraceful' to Say He's Not Christian during Kiawah Speech SC 'Disgraceful': Donald Trump blasts Pope Francis for taking a shot at his faith. Donald Trump fired back at Pope Francis in a rally Thursday afternoon in South Carolina, saying that the pope would wish for a President Trump "if and when" the Islamic State attacks the Vatican. "For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful," the Republican presidential front-runner said. Trump was responding to a statement the pope said earlier in the day questioning Trump's faith because of his caustic approach to illegal immigration. "A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian," the pope said after his six-day visit to Mexico, according to The New York Times. After being asked if he would try to persuade American Catholics to vote for a different candidate, the Catholic leader said he "was not going to get involved in that." "I say only that this man is not Christian if he has said things like that," the pope added, again referencing Trump's continued promises to build a wall along the US-Mexico border. Trump read his statement at his campaign rally at the Kiawah Island Golf Resort in South Carolina. "If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is ISIS’s ultimate trophy, I can promise you that the pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been president. Because this would not have happened," Trump said. Here's Trump's full Thursday statement responding to the pope: If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is ISIS’s ultimate trophy, I can promise you that the Pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been President because this would not have happened. ISIS would have been eradicated unlike what is happening now with our all talk, no action politicians. The Mexican government and its leadership has made many disparaging remarks about me to the Pope, because they want to continue to rip off the United States, both on trade and at the border, and they understand I am totally wise to them. The Pope only heard one side of the story - he didn’t see the crime, the drug trafficking and the negative economic impact the current policies have on the United States. He doesn’t see how Mexican leadership is outsmarting President Obama and our leadership in every aspect of negotiation. For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful. I am proud to be a Christian and as President I will not allow Christianity to be consistently attacked and weakened, unlike what is happening now, with our current President. No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man’s religion or faith. They are using the Pope as a pawn and they should be ashamed of themselves for doing so, especially when so many lives are involved and when illegal immigration is so rampant.
