He may be the pope but he is not qualified to tell other governing bodies how to run their businesses. Hoe it affects the religious and moral aspects yes. But to come out ans take sides i.e. consrvatives vs democrats is totally and completely wrong.
The media pumping up how this pope aligns with the Obama agenda is a contrived plan attempting to validate Obama's agenda.
Shame on the pope for not sticking to his business and electing to play the political game. He has dropped several notches in my opinion of the man not the position of pope:
Francis takes Congress to task on immigration, abortion, gay marriage and the Syrian refugee crisis as he insists on 'Golden Rule' approach to politics in first-ever Capitol Hill address by a sitting pontiff | Daily Mail Online
Acting like just another politician!!
