Pope Francis made a series of campaign appearances yesterday throughout the Vatican, strongly reaffirming his commitment to seeking the youth vote in the impending Papal election, where he will seek a second term.<\/p>\n
Speaking first from the steps of St. Peter’s Basilica, and then at a second location 100 yards south of the Basilica, the Pope made a number of campaign promises to appeal to young voters. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe will begin a new era of compassion and brotherhood in the church!\u201d Francis said to an adoring crowd. <\/p>\n
The Pope has made a point of incorporating issues that poll as strong concerns for young voters, from conceding that homosexuals will not burn in hell so long as they don\u2019t act on their sinful urges to agreeing with many youth caucuses that women are not, in every case, completely inferior to men.<\/p>\n
A pro-Francis PAC, \u201cStudents to Re-Elect the Pope,\u201d has been instrumental in organizing efforts to register young Vatican citizens to vote and informing them on the issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe face strong competition this year, but I\u2019m confident that our efforts will triumph in the end. Young voters are the future of the papacy,\u201d explained Salvio Vigitello, president of SREEP. \u201cOne more year for Pope Francis!\u201d<\/p>\n
