Pope urges Catholics to pick 'lesser evil' between Trump and Harris

Pope Francis has called both major US presidential candidates against life and advised Catholic voters to choose the lesser evil when casting their ballots in the November election.

The pontiff says not welcoming migrants seemingly referring to Trump is a grave sin, and compared Kamala Harris's stance on abortion to an assassination.

He says both are against life, be it the one who kicks out migrants, or be it the one who kills babies.

The Pope highlighted in rare political comments at a Friday news conference as he wrapped up a 12-day tour through southeast Asia.

The Pope did not refer to Harris or Trump by name in his comments.
