Only a primitive religion (read: islam) would be backwards enough to have religious leaders not only shaming, but in some cases killing, because that individual did not follow the faith as closely as the leader would like.
Trump is right here - The pope is the spiritual leader of christianity, not the judge of its adherents. Big difference.

Ok, lets pretend the pope should be like a muslim and directly address people by name who arent following the faith long enough and shame them.
The popes problem is that Trump wants a wall built, saying that anyone who does so isnt a christian.
Yet the vatican itself is surrounded completely by walls.
At this part of the show the pope can fuck off, given the blatent hypocracy of the complaint, let alone that its inappropriate for him to comment at all on a candidate for an election of a country.
