Pope is out of line, Trump is not Christian, though being Christian is in no way something I look for in a candidate I still won't vote for Trump.

Hmmm, Politics and Religion? Here we go. To answer the original question with a short answer: “Yes. No.”
Donald Trump has shown a number of times that he may very well be the least knowledgeable of the Christian texts by someone who routinely claims to be a Christian. This makes me lean toward “No.”
The Pope is the leader of the CATHOLIC Church, the largest single denomination, and does not hold sway over the other denominations. If he were able to, what were the PROTESTants protesting? As Martin Luther once said: “I’ve got 95 theses and they’re all essentially about The Pope.” He is also the leader of a Foreign Nation that is surrounded by walls. This makes me lean toward: “Yes, he overstepped.”

What did the Pope imply? Is he correct? Should the Pope campaign for Bernie Sanders?

I think what the Pope was implying is that Trump is not being Christlike which is a lot different than saying Trump is not a Christian . I take Trump at his word that he is a Christian but to get a better idea if he is being Christlike I would ask Catholic Church here and also the Protestant clergy and their flocks and hear their opinions . As I said before I take him at his word about being a Christian . Is he being Christlike ? I don't think so .
