Letter: Double standard for the pope?

Would it be proper to say the pope is showing a bit of hypocrisy when he says we should not have a border wall to keep out intruders?

He says it would be un-Christian, even while he lives in Vatican City, which is completely surrounded by a giant, impenetrable wall. A little of “do as I say, not as I do”?

Isn’t it mindful of the celebs who would prefer we have no guns for self-protection while they travel with a horde of armed guards?
