Catholic Church believes that abortion is an atrocious act, a grave sin and they have certainly excommunicated many for commiting the act.

What a crock!!
The pope cannot give priests permission to forgive abortions only God can.
Who is he the only thing with that kind of power is God not no man
What a joke makes me sick
When did he takes Gods place .
something seems quite wrong about this pope, he seems to be changing the cathlic religion like our current president is heck bent on changing this country to suit him
As a catholic i have one thing to say to the Pope, only God can do that. And don’t see that happening until hell freezes over. Abortion according to the Catholic Church is the gravest of sins. This Pope is out there. And he is going to promote amnesty for the millions of the undo$#%&!@*ented moochers living off you and me..
It is up to God to forgive not the Pope. He is not God is just the messenger from God
Jesus Christ is the only one who can forgive sins. The Pope thinks he’s Jesus now?
It’s not up to him, it’s up to God to forgive.
