Most are way to young to recall that when JFK, a Catholic, ran in 1960, there were questions as to whether he would take orders from the Vatican or be beholden to the Vatican. Now this Pope, by intruding into American politics, again raises those questions.
I think the "Gang of Eight's" Marco "Amnesty" Rubio is the Pope's favorite and he is trying to help him along.
I agree. The Pope might also believe he can influence Rubio the Robot.
