Pope slams Harris and Trump as 'against life' and urges Catholics to vote for 'lesser evil'

Pope Francis has strongly criticized both U.S. presidential candidates over what he calls anti-life policies on abortion and migration. Francis on Friday advised American Catholics to choose the “lesser evil” in the upcoming U.S. elections. He says that when deciding between a candidate who supports abortion rights and one planning to deport migrants that “both are against life.” The Argentine Jesuit was asked to provide counsel to American Catholics on the airplane home from Asia. He stressed that he isn’t an American and won't be voting in the U.S. election, but that Catholics should use their conscience to vote and choose the “lesser evil.”
