When it comes to the religious realm, businessman and Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has a hard time finding friends.

Although he now boasts the endorsement of Liberty University president and influential conservative Christian Jerry Falwell Jr., several prominent members of the Religious Right have repeatedly disavowed his candidacy, such as when Southern Baptist leader Russell Moore said Trump represents “everything” evangelicals should stand against. Meanwhile, Trump has racked up an ever-growing list of rejections from non-evangelical religious groups: Pope Francis implied in February that the real estate mogul is “not Christian”; his own claimed Presbyterian denomination openly discussed revoking his membership last year; and when Trump argued that a meeting with black pastors constituted an endorsement in December, several attendees took to the press to make it clear that they were not, in fact, backing The Donald’s campaign for president.

No great surprise here.
Fawell might regret his endorsement in the long run.
 
Just to be clear. When Pope Francis said " not Christian " it was not meant as " not a Christian "’ Trump’s remarks of what he would do the actton of putting up a wall is disregarding Jesus beatitude of Mercy.

Pope Francis said, "…“a person who thinks only about building walls… and not of building bridges, is not Christian.”

Trump has said consistently that the wall would have a “big, beautiful door” so more people could come in legally. It seems the “door” is the equivalent of the “bridge”.

I am not particularly fond of Trump, but I think both Trump and the pope were not well represented by the secular progressive media.
