The Holy Father is hitting the ball out of the park and this one will hit progressives in the world square in the forehead and make them scream against the Holy Father, which means, the Holy Father is speaking the Truth, with a capital "T"!
And we all know how politically incorrect it is to equate abortion to the Holocaust and the Nazi mentality. When will the progressives start howling over this one!
Against the so-called "gay marriages":
"The greatest gift God gave to humanity is the family, because after the story of the creation of man, God shows us that he created man and woman in his image and likeness, and Jesus himself, when he speaks of marriage, he says: 'Man will leave his father and mother and his wife will become one flesh.' Because they are the image and likeness of God. You are an icon of God: the family is an icon of God. the woman: it is precisely the image of God. He has said it, I do not say it, and this is great, it is sacred.
"Today - it hurts to say - we are talking about 'diversified' families: different types of families Yes, it is true that the word 'family' is an analogical word, because we talk about the 'family' of the stars, the 'families' of the trees, of the 'families' of animals ... It is an analogical word, but the human family as an image of God, man and woman, is only one.
And even harder against selective abortions:
"Children are the greatest gift: children who welcome themselves as they come, as God sends them, as God permits - even if sometimes they are sick.I heard that it is fashionable - or at least it is habitual - in the first months of pregnancy make certain examinations, to see if the child is not well, or comes with some problem ... The first proposal in that case is: 'We send him away?' The murder of children. out an innocent.
"When I was a boy, the teacher taught us history and told us what the Spartans were doing when a child was born with malformations: they took him to the mountain and threw him down, to treat 'the purity of the race.' And we remained stunned: 'But how , how can you do this, poor children! "It was an atrocity.Today we do the same.You wondered why you do not see so many dwarves on the street? Because the protocol of so many doctors - many, not all - is to do the question: 'Is it bad?' I say this with grief: in the last century, the whole world was scandalized by what the Nazis did to treat the purity of the race, but today we do the same, but with white gloves ".
And this is the associated press account:
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis denounced abortion on Saturday as the "white glove" equivalent of the Nazi-era eugenics program and urged families to accept the children that God gives them.
Francis spoke off-the-cuff to a meeting of an Italian family association, ditching his prepared remarks to speak from the heart about families and the trials they undergo. He lamented how some couples choose not to have any children, while others resort to pre-natal testing to see if their baby has any malformations or genetic problems.
"The first proposal in such a case is, 'Do we get rid of it?'" Francis said. "The murder of children. To have an easy life, they get rid of an innocent."
Francis recalled that as a child he was horrified to hear stories from his teacher about children "thrown from the mountain" if they were born with malformations.
"Today we do the same thing," he said.
"Last century, the whole world was scandalized by what the Nazis did to purify the race. Today, we do the same thing but with white gloves," Francis said.
The pope urged families to accept children "as God gives them to us."
Francis has repeated the strict anti-abortion stance of his predecessors and integrated it into his broader condemnation of what he calls today's "throw-away culture." He has frequently lamented how the sick, the poor, the elderly and the unborn are considered unworthy of protection and dignity by a society that prizes instead individual prowess.
He has also decried how women are often considered part of this "throw-away culture," sometimes forced to prostitute themselves.
"How many of you pray for these women who are thrown away, for these women who are used, for these girls who have to sell their own dignity to have a job?" Francis asked during his morning homily Friday.
And we all know how politically incorrect it is to equate abortion to the Holocaust and the Nazi mentality. When will the progressives start howling over this one!
First here is a google translation of what the Pope say off-the-cuff as recounted by Sandro Magister:
Given that "it takes courage" to "talk about the family today", Francis expressed himself with politically very incorrect words in at least two moments:
Against the so-called "gay marriages":
"The greatest gift God gave to humanity is the family, because after the story of the creation of man, God shows us that he created man and woman in his image and likeness, and Jesus himself, when he speaks of marriage, he says: 'Man will leave his father and mother and his wife will become one flesh.'

Francis has dedicated much of
his pontificate to preaching about families, marriage and the problems
that families today encounter. He is expected to highlight these issues
during his August trip to Ireland where he'll close out the Catholic
Church's big family rally.

fake Catholics, fake Catholic clergy, and Democrats, hardest hit
I read somewhere that the model for Nazi extermination programs was the Eugenics program that was taking place in the USA. It seems like that is still going on with the best and the brightest and the most fit, but that’s just opinion.
It is amazing that right-wing "traditional" Catholic bloggers/Twitter folks pretend that...
-- Pope Francis never condemns abortion.
-- Pope Francis supports same-sex marriage.
-- Pope Francis never defends and promotes the traditional family unit.
Pax.

MT,
And what has PF done to actively support these 3 positions? Has he exccommunicated Nancy Pelosi? Why did he yuck it up in a photo op with Obama when he should have sternly admonished him instead? Words without action are meaningless. Wake me up when he translates his words into action. Until then, color me unimpressed.
A broken clock is right twice a day...that applies here.
