Pope Francis is neither liberal nor conservative, a Democrat or a Republican. He is a Catholic

It was all so surreal.

 

Thursday a Catholic Pope entered the chamber of the House of Representatives and gave a speech to a joint meeting of Congress urging those in attendance to apply Catholic social teaching to the affairs of the nation.

 

(Snip)

 

Francis is pro-life and believes marriage is between and a man and a woman. He has called abortion a "sin," but he has also said that those who have committed this "sin" deserve forgiveness. He believes in climate change. He is a critic of capitalism (or any political system for that matter) when it leads to conspicuous consumption, materialism, and injustice.

 

He sides with the poor over the rich because this is what Jesus did. He fights for life because Catholics believes that all human beings are created in God’s image and have dignity and worth.

 

When Francis talks about these things, he is not being "political." Catholicism is not just a religion--it is an all-encompassing way of making sense of the world that is informed by the Bible and the traditional teachings of the church over the centuries.

They can allow the leader of the Catholic church to speak to them, but don't try to hang a copy of the Ten Commandments anywhere.
