Catholic Church believes that abortion is an atrocious act, a grave sin and they have certainly excommunicated many for commiting the act.
However, because it is a Holy Year, a year of Jubilee, the Pope wants to show mercy and allow all priests to forgive any woman with a repentant “contrite heart”.
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.

To bad for those the priests “forgave” that the ONLY way to get forgiveness is from God and you don’t need a sinful priest to talk to Him for you.. you’ve already got a direct line.
You did not shed your blood.
This Pope is not Catholic nor a Christian, what Pope would make a statement like this. He needs to be asked to step down immediately and if he refuses, then the Cardinals need to hold a conclave and elect a new Pope and force him out.
Somehow I don’t think that God is going to be on board with the Pope on this deal! “Thou shalt not kill”
OMG … are you kidding?! Who is this guy?
No pope would EVER DO THIS.
This pope-a-dope on a Liberal slope should do like Judas… and find a rope!!!
