(ANSA-AFP) - WASHINGTON, MAY 20 - Pope Francis made a foray
into the US election season with a rare television interview
Sunday, calling harsh anti-migrant attitudes "madness" and
criticizing right-wing US Catholic figures for overly
conservative stances against his social teachings. Speaking in
his native Spanish through a translator for more than an hour,
Francis told CBS News program "60 Minutes" that the closing by
the state of Texas of a Catholic charity offering humanitarian
assistance was absurd.
