Francis also warned that bishops should not let politics be a consideration in deciding whether someone could receive Communion.
Pope Francis on Wednesday reminded Catholic bishops to not condemn politicians who support abortion rights, but treat them with"compassion and tenderness," the Associated Press reported.
The pope's comments came when he was asked while traveling home from Slovakia whether politicians who back abortion rights, like U.S. President , should be able to receive Communion. Francis said that bishops should not let politics be a consideration in deciding whether someone could receive the sacrament, AP reported.
