Pope Francis said he has problems with both candidates for U.S. president, saying they're "both against life" Frida Ghitis: Many people don't fully understand what the term “lesser of two evils” means.

She says the idea of choosing the lesser evil did not start with Pope Francis , it's a phrase that voters have often used to characterize their ambivalence and lack of excitement over their choices on a ballot.

Ghitis says the concept is ancient, but it's important to think about how a person thinks about good and evil and how the person judges what's acceptable amount of harm.

Pope Francis : "I will not vote for the lesser of evils" is an abdication of responsibility.

It affirms that you are willing to accept either outcome, including the greater evil.

No one is exempt from the effects of the greater good, he says, and nobody who failed to vote against it gets to avoid blame.
