The Vatican on Friday sought to clarify Pope Francis’s tiff with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, reports the BBC.<br />The back-and-forth began after the Pope blasted Trump's plan to build a wall with Mexico to halt immigration into America as "not Christian".<br />Trump later responded and said, "No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man's religion or faith.<br />I am proud to be a Christian and as president I will not allow Christianity to be consistently attacked and weakened."<br />On Friday, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said "in no way was this a personal attack" in a reference to the Pope’s remark.<br />He said it was the Pope's long-standing belief that migrants should be helped and not shut behind walls.
