Vatican City (Vatican), Apr 13 (LaPresse) – Trump is “drunk on himself, on likes, on stages and on shouting, he throws mud at a pope who owes him no obedience” and “would like to turn faith into a party weapon, the Gospel into a tweet, morality into a wake-like audience.” This was stated by Monsignor Antonio Staglianò, rector of the Church of the Artists and president of the Pontifical Academy of Theology. “The Pope is being the Pope when he says that nuclear weapons are a disgrace – continues Monsignor Staglianò -. Is Trump being the president? No, he is acting, playing the role of the tough man, while his soul wavers, because a voice higher than his reminds him that power without morality is only an abysmal fall into the void. And so, dear Donald, let those who have inherited the fragility of Francis do the Pope’s job, and try to be the president: not the one who makes America ‘great’ by closing it in a fist, but the one who truly makes it great, by putting it on its knees before the pain of the world, to raise it again together with the least. Because a king drunk on himself collapses on his own. A sober shepherd walks even in the wind.”
