A man that protects child abusers is not in the position to give any advice.

[Zenon-fgdw]

With all due respect, an utterly idiotic statement by the pope, if he thinks that is all what this election is about. Extremely simpleminded.

[michaelangelo]

I’m sorry. Theologically problematic. He should be pro life. He does not preach the gospel with clarity. He does not teach the Bible with clarity

[tokenblkguy]

Pretty crazy the Catholic Church teaches no abortion and yet he doesn’t know if the abortion proud person is the right or wrong leader.

[violetlilac]

This guy is a joke. Who asked for his opinion? lmao

[kalicokathy]

Francis should stick with who the evil ones are in the Church

[creepyoldhouseexplorersclub]

Good advice from a guy living in a city surrounded by walls and security! Sounds like a good place to bus in 20000 migrants

[smokenjoe]

It is not hard Pope support the one that does not support abortion.

[ruthmallery]

One has to answer to God and one's own conscience, and be able to restlessly sleep at night. Last time I checked we still had a private vote in this country.

[jonb-hz]

The popes welcome to take in all these migrants causing chaos, but i dont think the kids are safe in his presence😂

[Evil-drbn]

The lesser of two evils is the one who spends the least amount of time with the clergy.

[ajb]

I am a catholic priest and my conscience is saying to vote for Trump. Thank you, Pope

[SGobuck]

We don't speak that language in the United States, who's he talking to?

[generalnutsacks]

Why is he!!! involved in American politics?

[crcsector]

This is the last of the people who one shall listen to. This is where the evil is fostered.

[Deathisonmysde]

Don't listen to this false "man of God". As our Lord does not know who he is!

[manixx]

Just In: The pope moves pdfile to another parish and pretends it never happened

[rikiruru]

Where is the hotel for asylum seekers within the Vatican?

[TVeres-dRm]

In the U.S. they have a saying, 'That's like the pot calling the kettle, 'black'. Religion should steer clear of politics. I know that is a tall order for 'leader' of the 'smallest capital city' in the World. 'Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts, Absolutely'.

[wyleecoyotee]

Pope is in no position to comment. Keep religion out of politics.
