Catholic Church believes that abortion is an atrocious act, a grave sin and they have certainly excommunicated many for commiting the act.

Pope Francis said that women who have had abortions, “bear in their heart the scar of this agonizing and painful decision” and thus mercy is to be shown during Dec. 8 to Nov. 26.

only God can forgive no man can n this pope is not God
Jesus died for our sins. he is faithful to forgive. he is the intercessor not the priest. the priest is a servant of God.
After you go to confession, resign and bring back Pope Benedict.
Popy, I have news for you. You nor your priests cannot forgive sins. I pray to my Heavenly Father.
Only Jesus Christ can forgive sins! Not you or any human being on earth! You need to think about were you will spend eternity!! You have fooled millions with your misrepresentation of Jesus Christ! He is the ONLY way to salvation!!!!
I do not understand what book he reads, the only sin he can forgive is the one someone’s did to him. Catholics wake up!
Senile old fool
What A JOKE!
No holiness in this.
Evil. God alone forgives abortion and only if repented of.
