Pope urges US Catholics to choose 'lesser evil' between Trump and Harris
The leader of the Catholic Church in the world, Pope Francis, has encouraged Catholics in the United States to vote in the November elections, saying they should "choose the lesser evil" while criticizing both of the main candidates in the country's presidential race.
However, he strongly criticized the positions of both saying, refusing to welcome immigrants is a "big" sin and abortion is equal to "murder".
Pope Francis has continued to explain that not voting is bad and not good and that Catholics must vote; but he advised by saying: "you must choose the evil that is better," and he questioned: "who is worse? The lady or the gentleman? I do not know. Each person, in his soul, [must] think and do so (by choosing the better evil).”
The leader of the Catholic Church has said: "whether it is the one who expels immigrants or the one who kills children, both are against life."
The United States has about 52 million Catholics, of which, according to a poll conducted by the Pew Research Center, about 52 percent of them support the Republican Party, compared to about 44 percent who support the Democrat Party.
