Many U.S. Catholics find themselves unfazed by the recent heated exchange between Pope Francis and Donald Trump. |--| U.S. Catholics voiced support for Pope Francis on Sunday after he criticized Donald Trump's immigration stance as "not Christian," but many interviewed by Reuters said the controversy would not necessarily sour them on the Republican presidential contender. |--| The pontiff injected himself into the U.S. campaign during a conversation with reporters on his flight home from Mexico on Thursday. In his comments, Francis disparaged Trump's vow to build a wall along the southern U.S. border to keep out illegal immigrants. |--| "A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian," said the Pope. |--| Many churchgoers said the media unfairly whipped up the controversy to goad the pope and Trump into a fight days before Saturday's South Carolina Republican primary. Trump's victory there made the billionaire real estate mogul the clear front-runner for his party's nomination for the Nov. 8 election to succeed Democratic President Barack Obama. |--| How much the pope's views will influence U.S. Catholics in the voting booth is an open question, but parishioners suggested a muted impact at best.
