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.

This pope is beyond stupid
Forgive murder go figure
Only the LORD has the power to forgive sin. By saying that priests can forgive abortion is he saying that abortion is okay?
deceiver pushing sin.
You are no CHRISTIAN! You are a dangerous man because of your position, and your BETRAYAL TO THE CHRISTIAN CAUSE!!#! Our Lord stated the prayer in Matthew, Chapter 6:9-13!!#! Who are you to usurp our Lord’s words?!??#
Gross old fart
Who is he to give permission to forgive sins , that is so stupid . Only God can forgive sins .
It’s not in his power to forgive.
Just another example of his heretical thinking. This guy is is own little god and does not know or care that he is not the one that created that life that was or will be aborted. Maybe he should ask the one that did create that life what his opinion is about the matter.
Francis too has magic powers ! He is the representative of god here on earth , He knows that cause god told him ? Why does he never speak to ordinary folks ?
