When asked about the Pope’s visit by CNN’s Don Lemon, Goldberg claims that this the first time she’s been interested in religion since John XXIII who reigned as Pope from 1958 to 1963. His claim to fame revolved around investigating the concept of contraception.
Goldberg, a self-described “humanist,”said, “This is the first time since probably John XXIII that I have been reinterested and reinvigorated, because this guy, you know, he read the book. He gets it.”
“This guy,” to the co-host of The View, is Pope Francis, and “the book,” is The Bible.
“So if he says, listen, I don’t think you need to be obsessed with gay people,” she continues, “I don’t think that’s what we need to be thinking about. I think we need to be thinking about how do we make our church better? How do we make our church more inclusive?”
According to Goldberg, Pope Francis said, “You know, quit hurting women’s feelings about having gotten an abortion. I don’t want women to get abortions but I understand why they do.”
Lemon further tested Goldberg’s theological knowledge of the Church’s position on abortion.
“You said, there is nothing in The Bible about abortion,” he said. “Someone would challenge you and say, ‘What about thou shall not kill?’”
“Well, if that’s the tactic we are going to take, we have to be pissed at every war and all the things we do,” Goldberg responded.
“Now, no one goes into getting an abortion like it is a party,” she continued. “You know what I mean? This is a hard decision for 97% of the women in the world to make. So you shouldn’t be beating them up, because they have had to make this terrible decision. It’s not your business that they had to make the decision.”
Like many who are more often bashing the media image of the Catholic Church while overlooking its actual teachings, Goldberg fails to separate the Church’s condemnation of the act of abortion – the taking of a human life – from the Church’s compassion for the woman in distress.
Interestingly, Lauren Duca, writing at the Huffington Post in July, asserted that Goldberg “has devolved into a human factory of the absurd.”
“Sitting on her daytime throne at The View,” Duca adds, “she churns out illogical and offensive comments with the force and regularity of one of those ball machines for people who don’t have a friend to play tennis with.”
The ignorance of Whoopi Goldberg on matters of religion is astounding. Liberals create this idea that the church is intolerant of everybody, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. When Islam is labeled a religion of peace and Christianity a religion of intolerance, somebody has their facts backwards.

Maria Alonso respectfully of course it’s going to work for you because Satan is the master of all deception. And scripture even says so!
I realize that Catholics have been conditioned to think this way throughout all of these years and centuries but you have to honestly ask yourself where in Scripture do you find these things in their doctrine that the Catholic Church teaches?
Nowhere biblically can you find anybody in the Bible praying to Mary praying to the Saints to intercede in any way for anybody. Where in Scripture do you see babies being baptized when they have no knowledge of who Christ is or what’s sin it.
I know and realize you acknowledge Jesus Christ as being the Son of God our Lord and Savior and whoever believes in Him and accept him and is baptized for the remission of their sins will live an eternal life, but respectfully where I have to disagree with you and challenge you is in regards and respect to the fact that know where can you find biblically that we are to pray to Mary or any of the saints. That’s a big issue right there let’s find the answer to that one first and then we can move on to other doctrinal differences that do not line up with Scripture.
If all we needed to do is pray to Mary and the Saints and have them intercede on our part between us and God then what was the whole purpose of Jesus Christ coming here being persecuted being whipped and beaten and going to the cross? Please answer this one simple question for me
Man what planet is she from does anybody else see anything wrong with her statement
Have you ever read a Bible? I didn’t think so!!!
What Bible has she read? Certainly not the one 98% of Jews and Christians read. The Pope, well he feels and thinks he can change it it suit his political agenda cause he believes himself to be infallible?
What the hell does she have on her head???
I think its funny how Catholics are unable to answer certain fundamental questions about their religion which leads me to believe that there is no clear answer and that they struggle to find one. If this is the case and you are Catholic then you should start thinking twice about the religion you are following to see if their practices and their doctrine are correct.
Jehovah-Messiah wrote the entire Works of Heaven including BM, D&C, and LDS Conference Talks today—&NO BODY gets anything about Heaven now accept our Prophet & Apostles—so Listen up World for Jesus Christ is the Son of God & he is Coming the 2nd time soon!!! ODL
Whoa…she’s still …..
