Pope Francis Urges Catholics to Choose the “Lesser Evil” Between President Trump and Harris


Pope Francis has weighed in on the upcoming U.S. election.

He’s urging Catholic voters to choose the “lesser evil” between President Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

Harris, with her support for Roe v. Wade, got labeled as supporting “assassination.”

Trump on the other hand was needlessly rebuked for his stance on mass deportation, branding it a sin for not welcoming invaders.

As for who’s the lesser evil?

The Pope’s response: ‘That lady, or that gentleman? I don’t know.’

Going by his logic, murdering babies is equal to not accepting ‘migrants’?

So, there you have it—straight from the Vatican.

Fox News reports:

Pope Francis on Friday urged Catholic voters to “choose the lesser evil” between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

The pope criticized Harris’ support of abortion rights as being an “assassination,” while he also chastised Trump, saying “not welcoming migrants is a sin.”

“You must choose the lesser evil,” Francis told reporters in a press conference held from his papal airplane following a 12-day tour of Southeast Asia and Oceania. “Who is the lesser evil? That lady, or that gentleman? I don’t know. Everyone, in conscience, [has to] think and do this.”

But he also said, “Not voting is ugly. It is not good. You must vote.”

Harris has said that she wants to codify Roe v. Wade into law if elected, and Trump has promised the “largest mass deportation in American history of our country.”

The pope didn’t specify which candidate, if either, he personally prefers.

On abortion, he said, “It is an assassination. On these things we must speak clearly. No ‘but’ or ‘however.'”

On Trump’s deportation plans, the pope said: “Not giving welcome to migrants is a sin. It is grave.”

“Whether it is the one who is chasing away migrants, or the one who that kills children, both are against life,” he claimed.
