(45,319 posts)The pope told the gynecologists that they had a responsibility to make known the "transcendent dimension, the imprint of God's creative work, in human life from the first instant of conception. And this is a commitment of new evangelization that often requires going against the tide, paying a personal price. The Lord counts on you, too, to spread the Gospel of life."
Pope Francis characterized abortion as a product of a "widespread mentality of profit, the 'throwaway culture,' which has today enslaved the hearts and minds of so many.

In a recent private conversation, Pope Francis has reiterated his view that same-sex 'marriage' is an anthropological regression.
The Holy Father was also saddened by legislative proposals in Malta to extend equality legislation to homosexual couples, particularly those who wish to adopt.
In an interview with the Italian bishops' newspaper Avvenire published today, Auxiliary Bishop of Malta Charles J. Scicluna said that when he met Pope Francis on Dec. 12, he expressed his concern to the Pope about the proposed law. The Pope showed his sadness at this development, especially on the question of adoption.
He added: I told him that the promoters [of the bill] quote his words: If a person is gay and seeks the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge? but they dont quote his words from 2010 when he was still Cardinal Archbishop of Buenos Aires. The Pope repeated the phrase of his letter of 2010: It's an anthropological regression.

It is beyond disgusting that you would question my Democratic voting record because I support equality and choice. Democrats support equality and choice, Francis opposes those things, it is you who is promoting a man who spews much right wing bullshit. Abortion is murder, gays are from the devil, whoopee!!!!!!!!
Drop the McCarthyite crap, it is just revolting.
