The pope has officially become political. No reason to listen to anything he has to say from this point on.
A political Pope isn’t new. Pope John Paul II was influential in the fall of Communism in Europe. I don’t mind the Pope’s intervention in political matters where his intervention is for the betterment of his flock, but this Pope is perpetrating a fraud that will bring his flock to ruin. Better for him to tackle all the other major threats such as the persecution of Christians all over the world, including in the US.
