Pope should speak up more on abortion.

[wardmccomiskey]

I think the pope should be concerned with his own character.

[erob]

The pope has to many man vs boys issues within his church to be concerned about our elections

[francesruthharris]

So the Pope will get the priests in line, right?

[siennad]

Christians are being unalived in Nigeria…. Why don’t you worry about that sir!

[EllieisJoanrivers]

The same way he dealt with sexually abusive priests.

[nickiemcnichols]

The pope has no business interfering in US politics.

[kevinminozzii]

The pope is a wolf in papal clothes 😂😂😂

[oldsilver]

Like the Catholic church has any room to throw stones with their history. 🤯🙄

55 y/o practically raised Catholic(age 13..alter boy etc)…POPE WORRY ABOUT ALL THE LITTLE BOYS BEING MOLESTED IN THE CHURCH PLEASE….mike drop

[FlipDahlenburg]

The Pope doesn't know anything. What a clown.

[geoffnaggie]

The Pope needs to clean his house before he comments on someone else's. What a clown.

[DeVineFate]

Pope has zero say in American politics. His opinion, as far as I'm concerned, is exactly like Taylor Swift's... Irrelevant.

[vfyprrm]

I like popes who keep their thoughts to themselves.

[lilspeth]

The Pope should stay out of politics and stick to scripture... the answers are there not in the latest trend from the spiritual salad bar.

[AZLorie-klow]

How many immigrants does Vatican City allow?

[HR-nlfc]

Sorry, I’m a Roman Catholic but, I strongly believe the pope should mind his own business.

[kylemossi]

Wow what a completely pointless clip. Nothing was said that couldn't be learned from the title.

[BJ-fyxz]

The Pope is just one man's opinion. He is no better than any other man or woman who walks this earth. Stop putting your faith in man and concentrate on the Devine Creator.

Im not defending Kamala, but the Roman emperor playing holy man is in no position to talk about lesser evils.
