Pope Francis Urges US Catholics to Select the ‘Lesser Evil’ in Upcoming Election | Updates on US Election 2024


Pope Francis has urged Catholics in the United States to vote in the upcoming November elections, warning them to choose the “lesser evil” between the two leading candidates. While not mentioning the names of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the pontiff criticized their platforms on immigration and abortion. He emphasized the importance of voting and criticized the neglect of welcoming immigrants as a “grave” sin and equated abortion to “assassination.”

The 87-year-old pope’s remarks come as the US presidential election approaches, with him highlighting the importance of participating in the democratic process. Despite his conservative views on social issues like abortion, Francis has been a vocal critic of restrictive immigration policies. He warned that policies that harm migrants or children are both against life.

With a large number of Catholics in the US, particularly in key swing states, the pope’s comments could influence the voting behavior of this constituency. While more Catholics lean towards the Republican Party, there is still a significant number who support Democrats, making the Catholic vote hotly contested in elections.

During his remarks, Pope Francis also expressed frustration over the lack of progress towards peace in Gaza, condemning recent violence that resulted in the deaths of Palestinian children. Overall, his comments underscore the importance of voting, choosing wisely, and addressing critical issues like immigration and abortion in the upcoming election.
