Of course Donald Trump got into a holy war with the pope and could winby Tara Golshan at Vox

"SNIP..............
Pope Francis just tried to shame Donald Trump. The takeaway: Never try to shame Donald Trump. It doesn't work.
In what was supposed to be a bad thing, Francis said Trump's views on immigration and his plan to build a US-Mexico wall showed that he was "not Christian." The remarks come just two days before the South Carolina Republican primary, but Trump seemed unfazed by the possibility of negative publicity.
"If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is ISISs ultimate trophy, I can promise you that the Pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been President because this would not have happened," Trump said in reaction to the pope's remarks.
And Trump's own supporters probably won't mind much, either. The Christian base in South Carolina is evangelical, not Catholic. And previous attacks on Trump's faith haven't hurt him in any case.
