Pope Francis

Republican White House hopeful Donald Trump cannot claim to be a Christian, Pope Francis said Thursday, after the billionaire vowed to build a border wall to keep out immigrants.

“Anyone, whoever he is, who only wants to build walls and not bridges is not a Christian,” the pontiff told journalists during his return journey from a trip to Mexico in response to a question about Trump’s anti-immigrant stance.

“Vote, don’t vote, I won’t meddle. But I simply say, if he says these things, this man is not a Christian,” he said.

FILE - In this Feb. 10, 2011 file photo, Donald Trump  addresses the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington.  Itís the weird issue that wonít go away, and itís forcing GOP presidential contenders and other Republican leaders to pick sides: do they think President Obama was born outside the United States and is therefore disqualified to be president? Polls show that a remarkable  two-thirds of all Republican voters either think Obama was born abroad or they arenít sure. With Donald Trump stirring the pot, other potential candidates are distancing themselves from his comments to varying degrees.   (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File)
