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.

Do you not know that you cannot forgive sin for that belongs to God when the sinner repents before Him. Read the Bible pompous maximus.
How did you EVER become a pope? Seriously im disgusted!
You are a CREEP
This man does not walk in the Shoes of the Fisherman.
Nuts
What kind of pope is this? F**e!
Priests can’t forgive a bug bite … only GOD can forgive sins. Wake up.
They should ask God for forgiveness and God will give it to them when he knows they are very sorry in their hearts. And God will let them be united with their aborted babies in Heaven, and they will know they are their mother. God is Good!
So murder is OK during the Holy Year? Then shouldn’t they really change the name to “The Unholy Year”?
When “The Holy Year” is over, will the Pope instruct the priests to return to the practice of condemning abortion – instead of forgiving it?
Oh my God go back to hell where you came from
