Sorry Donald Trump, the Vatican is **t actually a walled-off city

After Pope Francis and Donald Trump's war of words Thursday (http://mashable.com/2016/02/18/pope-francis-donald-trump-christian/), that saw the pontiff call the GOP contender's Christianity into question over his insistence of a wall on the Mexican border, Trump scurried to point out the Vatican's own walls.
Trump, and supporters cited Vatican City's looming walls as a sign of the Catholic church's exclusionary practices
The only problem with Trump's comeback is that its premise is entirely wrong. Unlike his own plans to seal off the Mexican border, people can come and go freely into Vatican City.
