Meanwhile, an article in the Jesuit publication America says there are seven Catholic candidates running for president, but that the one quoting Pope Francis the most often "is a Jewish guy from Vermont" – Senator Bernie Sanders.

I don’t think Barney is far enough to the left for him.

What business does the Pope have endorsing anyone?He needs to STFU and confine his activities to the church.

It’s funny that the potential Democrat candidate for president is not even a registered Democrat.

I don’t think any Pope has ever endorsed a U.S. candidate for president. Has one?

I’d like SOMEONE IN THE MEDIA to stop going all gooey eyed over this Pope long enough to ask the Pope about his views on abortion and Planned Parenthood.

End of gooey eyed adoration from the leftist moonbats.

If the Pope insists on meddling in the US Elections the Catholic Church, sadly, should lose it’s tax free status.

Brilliant.

All you have seen infiltrate America has infiltrated the Church of Rome. Like it or not, the Church has its global influence the same as the USA, and much of its influence is in the United States and already nearly finished Europe.

You see the fruits of Obama. Wait until the Church finishes with playing politics. You will wish you cared.

The usual stale hit piece for the illiterati. Catholic teaching has long confronted Communism and socialism. Just ask St. John Paul II

That’s just stupid. No one is going to be endorsed. Nor should they be.

From the way this Pope is on many of his issues, I would have to say yes...

I don't see him doing anything good right now for the catholic people...he got a Palestine - Vatican ‘treaty’???
Plus he also made a statement about his liking of the decision of cuba and the United States, which should be NONE of his business..

If he wants to see the catholic diocese of the Catholic Church in cuba, that's one thing, but to come out as public as he did, is quite another...

There have been other situations he has spoken and done that are not in the best interest of our Catholic Church...

Unfortunately, Francis confronts Catholic teaching. I doubt he will endorse Sanders by name, but he doesn’t need to. He has already endorsed him a thousand times over with his innumerable lefty statements that would sound about right coming from the mouth of Marx himself.

That would be dangerous to tax churches for the opinions of their shepherds. They will endorse no one anyway, but they can be heard speaking on common themes, couched in “mercy”.

Many devout, traditional Catholics continue in the works of the traditional Church, like the Little Sisters of the Poor. We see what they are being drug through under the boot of Obama. Add taxation to their threatened daily fines and they will be finished. It’s tragic and all of this persecution will have implications for all churches, not just Catholics.

We can not lose our heads, but must be gentle as a dove and wily as a serpent. Personally, the times call for a little more serpent. :)

The Pope forgets that Marxism is atheistic materialism.

He pushing for more illegals and refugees in U.S. wanted to come here on his visit through the Mexican border.
