Asked about the U.S. presidential election, Pope Francis weighed in on the choice between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

Ms. Harris clearly gained the upper hand in the contest with Mr. Trump, but it was not always clear where they stood on issues like immigration, abortion and climate change.

In the wake of recent polling showing Kamala Harris leading among American Catholics, the Trump campaign has launched a new Catholic outreach initiative.

As a Catholic journalist, here’s what I would want to ask Vice President Kamala Harris.

Vengeance and grievance are nihilistic motivators. We need to ground ourselves in joy and gratitude if we are to promote unity and peace.

The name-calling that has become a normal—even celebrated—part of our election this year will do nothing to bridge the vast ideological chasm that divides our nation.
