So this just happened.
As Pope Francis finished up his visit to Mexico, he had some harsh words to say about Donald Trump and Trump’s Christian faith because of his plan to build a wall along the U.S.–Mexico border:

Donald Trump responded on his website, calling the comments “disgraceful” and saying Pope Francis “would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been president” if and when ISIS attacks the Vatican.
