Pope Francis said the 2024 US presidential election was "a choice of the lesser evil"
I'm not sure what the US presidential election has to do with the pope in the first place, but despite the humanity the pope displayed at other times and places, what I'll remember him for is equating MAGA and Trump, a convicted felon and sexual predator, with Harris, a decent, compassionate, prosecutor. He said they were essentially the same, that it didn't matter who you voted for, that both were "evil."
Well, today the flags in the US are flying at half mast for the man who said Trump or Harris--both are evil, so it doesn't matter. I begged to differ when he said it, and I especially beg to differ now.
Here's one link of many, in case you forgot what the awesome pope said, or if you might have missed it: ]https://www.ncregister.com/cna/pope-francis-us-presidential-election-a-choice-between-the-lesser-evil
Say what you want about the man, but I can't respect anyone--pointy hat or not--who would make such a ludicrous statement. The pope might as well have said the rabble were right when they chose Barabbas over Jesus because, after all, it was a choice of the lesser evil.
JD Vance visited Pope Francis, and then the pope died. It was nice of the pope to meet real evil face-to-face while he could.
