Donald Trump is well-known for getting in spats but his latest is quite a biggie.
He's taken on the Pope.
Trump has branded Pope Francis "disgraceful" for claiming the Republican presidential frontrunner was "not a Christian" over his pledge to build a wall across the US-Mexico border while on a tour of Central America.
Thank you to Mexico and to all Mexicans. May the Lord and the Blessed Virgin of Guadalupe accompany you always.

Needless to say the Republican presidential frontrunner's supporters are a touch outraged.
First off is this now-deleted beauty which does highlight the fact none of us have ever actually seen the Pope's job description.

A lot of people were so incandescent with rage they threw all grammar and punctuation out the window.
@Pontifex
your a liar and saying Trump isn't a Christian! Your a leader an just transfer pedophillias to another perish who's Christian?— OREGON for TRUMP (@donnalea_norris) February 18, 2016
Some even decided the whole affair made them the authority of authentic Christianity.
@Pontifex I question your Christianity, for getting involved in US politics and Telling the people that Allah is the same god we worship.

Maybe Marie, but a massive wall isn't part of them.
@Pontifex Questioning the faith of another man is so UN-christian! Our country has immigration laws which must be followed.

Think you'll find he has quite a lot of right.
@Pontifex you are ignorant of Christian belief. You have no right to bestow judgment. We will protect America from bad people.
