  Pope Francis might begin by admitting that the church cannot run or control our American politics as politics are much too complicated for simple religious beliefs - thus in effect refusing the FACTS.
  I wish Pope Francis well but I do not have much hope that he can do anything. 
  Come to think of it Pope Francis should begin by excommunicating those Catholics and prelates who empowered the GOP. 
  Or, the pope can make such future actions an excommunication.
