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”.

Hope he doesn’t expect the same favor on Judgment Day!!
I am a Catholic and I have disagreed with this Pope so many times. He is too liberal for me. Thank goodness our Church teaches we don’t have to agree with everything. He will be isolating many American Catholics.
Abortion ends a life without the babies permission! “Unborn lives matter.”
John20:21-24 Jesus said Peace be with you. AS the Father has sent me, so I send you And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, :Receive the holy Spirit: Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them ad whose sins you retain are retained.
The RC keep themselves busy with CR—-! Always havesince their inception. An arrogant, deceiving religion dragging millions into hell with them.
This crazy thinks he is God!
Really?
God will forgive…and “go and sin no more”. Because they areCatholics, they use priests, but God forgives because He knows what’s in your heart.
Only God can forgive their sins.
Not a Catholic, so forgive my ignorance… Is there an “Unholy Year”?
