Pope Francis weighs in on Argentina’s abortion debate
- Inés San MartínNov 26, 2020
ROSARIO, Argentina – Pope Francis got himself involved with the ongoing debate over the decriminalization of abortion in his Argentinian homeland, sending a handwritten letter to a group of women from Buenos Aires’ slums asking,
“Is it fair to hire a hitman to resolve a problem?”
I have tried to link the ex-cardinal McCarrick and the President Elect together as a symbol of how abuse of people, whatever kind of abuse of power there is, are linked together in the Church.
McCarrick was a nice, civil, congenial character. The press loved him for that. He was a middle of the road, but slightly to the left Catholic. In other words, he was considered open minded by the press and progressive Catholics. But despite this, he abused his power in an immoral, mortal sin fashion with his disordered “pathological” passions.
President-Elect Biden too is a nice, civil, congenial character. The press loves him for that and half of America, Catholic or Protestant or Jewish or nothing. In other words, he is considered open minded by the press and others, especially ultra progressive Catholics on the far left who love his social justice stances fully in accord with Church teaching in terms of helping the poor, the immigrants and women and their health. However, he allows and encourages through law, enabling the big business of abortion, allowing women to hire hit men to kill their unborn babies even up to the 9th month and afterwards. He favors euthanasia and enshrining it in law, allowing us to hire a hit man to kill the vulnerable or those who can’t do it for themselves.
At least McCarrick didn’t kill his victims directly. They can sue him and the Catholic institution that allowed him to do so for so long. Babies, even those murdered immediately after birth have no such recourse. And if the statutes of limitation had not run out, McCarrick could be in prison right now. There are no such laws for mothers or fathers or abortion providers. And if dead babies could sue the president, the legislatures, the judicial courts—wow! No such justice for them.
This is what Pope Francis has just on Sunday written to women in Argentina where there is a political battle to decriminalize abortion:
In his Nov. 22 letter, Francis argued that the issue of abortion “is not primarily a religious matter but a matter of human ethics, preceding any religious confession.”
“And it’s good for us to ask two questions,” he wrote. “Is it fair to eliminate a human life to resolve a problem? Is it fair to hire a hitman to resolve a problem?”
Though Pope Francis has often spoken against abortion – even asking those two questions – this is the first time he has directly addresses the pro-abortion campaign in his home country.

This is a crazy world! His Holiness is about to make AB Gregory of Washington DC a Cardinal. It is reported that the AB told Joe Biden to come to Mass and receive communion. Joe happens to be a rabid abortion supporter. Why is the Pope condemning the poor women but plays footsie with the Cardinal and the President-elect?
Screwtape must be very well satisfied with his pupils indeed.
Pope Francis, if he were a US citizen, would vote for the Abortion Party. All hat and no cattle as they say
Will Rorate Caeli confess for their having issued the following hateful, satanic tweet?

From CNS:
"Argentine president Alberto Fernández said Sunday he hopes Pope Francis won’t be angry because of a bill he introduced in the country’s legislature to legalize abortion."
Rorate Caeli, in keeping with their hatred of the Vicar of Christ, Pope Francis, our holy and great Culture of Life Roman Pontiff, replied:
"Don’t worry, Alberto, he won’t be angry."
===============================================================================
Imagine a Catholic, in particular, a "traditional" Catholic (as New Catholic at Rorate Caeli refers to himself), having linked Pope Francis to support for the grave sin of abortion?
With such hateful blogs/twitter accounts as Rorate Caeli carrying the banner online for "traditional" Catholicism, is there any wonder as to why many folks believe that the "Traditional Catholic Movement" is sick?
What unfathomable hatred!
Pax.

I am more concerned about the Pope’s unfathomable hatred of faithful, traditional Catholics
Well, maybe because of security concerns---the president can't just drop into church without a heavy security contingent and security sweeps---we will be spared Biden receiving communion in DC on a regular basis. Of course, I guess he could invite a priest to the White House for a private Mass as the alternative. How often did JFK go to church? I hear that Holy Trinity in Georgetown was the place he would most often worship at.
Well hopefully someone can at least persuade Biden to support the Hyde Amendment, which has saved countless lives. Sometimes even pro-choice people will oppose government funded abortions as they don't see that as a constitutional use of government funds. That is one reason to keep the Senate in GOP hands. Unfortunately there are few pro-life Democrats left in either the US House or Senate---a shame indeed.
