Pope Francis Suggests Donald Trump Is ‘Not Christian’By JIM YARDLEY FEB. 18, 2016
ABOARD THE PAPAL AIRLINER — Inserting himself into the Republican presidential race, Pope Francis on Wednesday suggested that Donald J. Trump “is not Christian” because of the harshness of his campaign promises to deport more immigrants and force Mexico to pay for a wall along the border.

Previous Anglosphere nationalists declared to be not a Christian by popes include Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.
