Meanwhile, an article in the Jesuit publication America says there are seven Catholic candidates running for president, but that the one quoting Pope Francis the most often "is a Jewish guy from Vermont" – Senator Bernie Sanders.

I don’t think Barney is far enough to the left for him.

What business does the Pope have endorsing anyone?He needs to STFU and confine his activities to the church.

It’s funny that the potential Democrat candidate for president is not even a registered Democrat.

I don’t think any Pope has ever endorsed a U.S. candidate for president. Has one?

I’d like SOMEONE IN THE MEDIA to stop going all gooey eyed over this Pope long enough to ask the Pope about his views on abortion and Planned Parenthood.

End of gooey eyed adoration from the leftist moonbats.

The usual stale hit piece for the illiterati. Catholic teaching has long confronted Communism and socialism. Just ask St. John Paul II

That’s just stupid. No one is going to be endorsed. Nor should they be.

From the way this Pope is on many of his issues, I would have to say yes...

I don't see him doing anything good right now for the catholic people...he got a Palestine - Vatican ‘treaty’???
Plus he also made a statement about his liking of the decision of cuba and the United States, which should be NONE of his business..

If he wants to see the catholic diocese of the Catholic Church in cuba, that's one thing, but to come out as public as he did, is quite another...

There have been other situations he has spoken and done that are not in the best interest of our Catholic Church...

The Pope forgets that Marxism is atheistic materialism.

All I see is the Roman Catholic Church showing a legacy of stupidity. Their faith that God will protect them from the infiltration of bad elements has allowed them to be sloppy and lazy. Now we see the Jesuit Marxist Liberation Theology slip itself into to Church.

Why can’t this important bastion for human freedom get itself straight? Forces are swilling within it to send this once mighty powerhouse down the sewer of history. It is too bad the layman Catholic won’t pull their heads out of the sand and seize their plight by the horns.

Why would anyone listen to the Pope about politics. A majority of Catholics don’t listen to him about religion.

As practicing Catholic, I am hoping he has a short pontificate. Just saying.

Has the Pope ever endorsed a candidate for President before ?

In my memory, the Pope has never, so it's a silly moot point...

Someone correct me if I am wrong..

For someone who’s supposed to be ‘in this world but not of this world’, he seems overly concerned with materialistic matters and a tad short on minding the things of the spirit.

I don’t hear the Pope speak much on the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ for example.

As the Good Book says: “Man does not live by bread alone.”.

“... just wait until the Pope visits America next month and endorses socialist Bernie Sanders for president.”

Incredibly unlikely since popes routinely do not endorse candidates in political races.

How can an endorsement of a candidate in favor of abortion be in line with Catholic teaching? Catholic Apologetics

This article is ridiculous. Ignoring that popes don’t endorse candidates, if he did, the Pope wouldn’t be endorsing someone who Catholics are barred from voting for in the first place.

From my personal hero Saint John Paul I to this..... I can't come up with a word that acknowledges his Papal infallibility coupled alongside his secular asininity

What are the chances of having the worst president in my lifetime at the same time as the worst pope in my lifetime?
