According to this Raw Story article, when it comes to the U.S. election, the Pope believes “voters need to choose between the lesser of two evils.”
“One must choose the lesser of two evils. Who is the lesser of two evils? That lady or that gentleman? I don’t know,” said Francis while speaking to reporters on the papal plane. “Everyone with a conscience should think on this and do it.” Specifically, in Francis' view, Harris' stance in favor of abortion and Trump's stance against immigrants are equally problematic to him.
It is infuriating to me that these single-issue voters are willing to ignore everything else about a canidate.
Let's see if I got this right Pope’y:
- Trump was convicted of 24 felony counts, he is facing 3 more criminal trials.
- There is credible evidence that his mismanagement of the COVID pandemic cost well over 500,000 lives in America alone, and that’s not counting how much damage his conspiracy theory nonsense caused outside of the U.S.
- He was found to have committed sexual assault in a civil case with the judge going so far as to say Trump is a rapist.
- Trump had sex with a porn star while his wife was at home taking care of their newborn baby.
- He caused a riot at the capital that ended in multiple fatalities.
- He said there are good people on both sides of a Nazi hate rally.
- He mocks disabled veterans.
- He used your Bible as a prop and laughs behind the backs of Christians.
- He locked children in cages after separating them, in many cases permanently, from their parents.
- He is calling for the overthrow of democracy, you know, aka “bringing back the good old days” when people like you would have all the say over society (welcome to the new dark ages huh?).
- Trump is promising to increase the climate disaster, which will end up killing many in the not-too-distant future, including a good number of the babies you profess to care so much about.
- He supports (and has the support of) a dictator causing a humanitarian crisis in Eastern Europe by invading a sovereign nation and kidnaping, torching, and killing their citizens (including targeting maternity wards with rockets and artillery fire, that’s some support for the “unborn” right there).
It’s all very Christian of him.
BUT
Kamala is “evil” as well and you don’t know who is best to vote for huh?
Fuck you!
If you can’t figure out the correct moral path here between a rapist, conman, and want-a-be dictator and a morally upright woman canidate you call “that lady”, then maybe we shouldn’t listen to you anymore…. and look-e-there, the Catholic Church is losing members by the busload.
Seems like your influence is waning; people just don’t look to you for guidance like they once did. So maybe you should stick to your lane and let us sort out this worldly shit huh?
Oh, and PS, you might want to put your money where your mouth is and do some good with all the priceless artifacts hanging out in the catacombs under your feet you dickhead. I mean, you sure could feed a lot of these children you claim to care so much about if you just sell off some of that priceless stuff…. what’s that you say, you don’t want the world to know what you have hiding down there? Well shut my mouth.
You a-hole, go back to your adoring sycophants who worship you and Trump more than your Jesus.
