Jeb Bush in CNN GOP Town Hall in S.C.


On Principles & Values: Other candidates' religion is none of my business

Q [to Donald Trump]: The pope said "a person who thinks only about building walls wherever they may be, and not of building bridges is not Christian."

TRUMP: He was talking about the border--the government of Mexico spoke with the Pope--

Q: Wait, you think that the government of Mexico somehow got the Pope to say this?

TRUMP: Absolutely. But the pope talked about having a wall is not Christian, and he's got an awfully big wall at the Vatican.

Q [to Bush]: Do you agree with the Pope suggesting Donald Trump is not Christian?

BUSH: I always get in trouble when the Pope says things, because I'm a Catholic. I'm informed by my faith, and he is an inspirational leader of my church. But I don't question people's Christianity. I think that's a relationship they have with their lord and savior. So I just don't think it's appropriate to question Donald Trump's faith. He knows what his faith is. And if he has a relationship with the lord, fantastic. If he doesn't, it's none of my business.
