Letter: Contrary to Pope, It's a Clear Choice

I confess I am a lapsed Catholic, primarily because of the church's anti-abortion rhetoric and its historically anti-feminist stance. But I have always admired Pope Francis. That is why I am so disappointed in his decision to equate Trump's anti-immigrant rantings with Harris' pro-choice position and his telling U.S. voters to choose between "the lesser of two evils."

Setting aside the impropriety of the head of one of the world's largest religions commenting on a fraught political situation in a sovereign country, how can the Pope so easily dismiss all the other un-Christian aspects of a flawed human being like Trump? His lies and insults, his greed, his treatment of women, his criminal activity.

This election is not the choice between the lesser of two evils. It is the choice between an evil man and a good woman. The choice is clear.
