The pope talked about the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border during an interview with Mexican news organization Televisa , also warning Trump against resuming his policy of separating migrant families. Pope Francis said Tuesday that he is willing to personally tell President Donald Trump that it is wrong to build a border wall, as the pontiff continues to voice opposition to the president’s immigration policies. Trump met with the pope in 2017, and no further meeting is reportedly planned. During his Televisa interview, Francis also rejected criticisms from a group of ultra-conservative Roman Catholics who call him a heretic. The group began a petition earlier this month encouraging bishops to denounce Francis over several topics, including communion for divorced people and religious diversity.
