"The Pope should stay out of US Politics" [View all]

The Pope has not involved himself in U.S. politics. He has merely preached the Gospel, which is literally his job. If your ears sting when you hear it that's on you. You might ask yourself why. "Why does it feel like he's talking to me?"
As BuzzFeed would say, the answer might surprise you.
