I am not Catholic, I am Jewish - but I have an observation:
The Pope (generic term-not this particular guy) has a lot of moral credibility, and people tend to listen to him, because he sticks with his job description - that of a moral/religious leader. When he (or any other moral/religious leader from any religion) starts to enter the realm of politics, he should realize that he is no longer entitled to any deference.
That being said, this particular Pope has long since given up the moral credibility that the popes of modern times have had, because he has entered the politic arena. This latest statement is just more icing on the cake. As such, I feel no reason to defer to or respect him on political matters - in that, he is just another human being, regardless of his day job. So...Francis, long known as an anti-American with Communist leanings, can kiss my ass when it comes to his criticisms of this President in particular, and this country in general.
First one should know: Pope is infallible on matters of faith only, on everything else he is just a normal person. I wish he would keep his opinions on things not relevant to faith to himself.
