'Will end badly': Pope Francis gives a major warning to Trump

Pope Francis on Tuesday took a direct shot at the Trump administration in a new letter in which he criticized the president's immigration policies as being un-Christian.

In the letter, Pope Francis described Trump's push for mass deportations in the United States as a "major crisis" and outlined why it goes against the teachings of Jesus Christ.

"The act of deporting people who in many cases have left their own land for reasons of extreme poverty, insecurity, exploitation, persecution or serious deterioration of the environment, damages the dignity of many men and women, and of entire families, and places them in a state of particular vulnerability and defenselessness," wrote the pope. "This is not a minor issue: an authentic rule of law is verified precisely in the dignified treatment that all people deserve, especially the poorest and most marginalized."

The pope also took issue with Vice President J.D. Vance invoking the Catholic concept of ordo amoris, or "order of love," to justify mass deportations from the United States.

"The human person is a subject with dignity who, through the constitutive relationship with all, especially with the poorest, can gradually mature in his identity and vocation," wrote the pope. "The true ordo amoris that must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating constantly on the parable of the “Good Samaritan," that is, by meditating on the love that builds a fraternity open to all, without exception."

The pope also warned Trump that any policy that is "built on the basis of force, and not on the truth about the equal dignity of every human being, begins badly and will end badly."
