Pope Francis says Kamala Harris and Donald Trump "both against life" for stances on abortion, immigration
SUMMARY
In a recent statement, Pope Francis criticized both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump for their positions on abortion and immigration. Speaking to reporters on his return flight from Asia, the Pope labeled both candidates as "against life," explaining, “The one who throws away migrants and the one who kills children” are both failing in their duties. The Pope, addressing questions on voting choices for American Catholics, said that voting involves choosing the “lesser of two evils” but did not specify which candidate might fit that description. He emphasized the importance of examining one’s conscience before voting, stating, “It should be clear that sending migrants away... it is a sin. It is grave.” Francis reaffirmed the Church’s stance on abortion as "murder" and stressed the moral imperative to care for migrants, citing biblical teachings on the duty to support the orphan, widow, and stranger.
