Rejecting migrants is as bad as abortion, says Pope on flight to Rome

ON BOARD THE PAPAL PLANE – Pope Francis during his in-flight press conference returning from Singapore to Rome said American Catholics torn on how to vote in the upcoming presidential election due to the Church’s pro-life policy and its social doctrine teaching on migration much choose between the “lesser of two evils”.

He also touched on key geopolitical issues such as China and the war in Gaza, as well as the clerical abuse crisis.

Referring to pro-choice candidates and anti-migrant candidates, the Pope said: “Both of them are against life, both the one who throws out migrants and the one who kills children.”
