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”.

You not God you stupid Demon ..
This Pople spends more time backing the Socialist/Communist agenda that our administration is forcing on us, than he does doing the Lord’s work. He also pushes for global warming (raising taxes), One World Government, abolishing our Cons$#%&!@*ution and accepting Islam.
Step right up folks! This year and this year only the Catholic Church will forgive your abortion. Get them now! Don’t wait! The year will soon come to an end and then you are again an unrepentant sinner. Abort now while you still can!
You are a disgrace
God forgives a truly repentant heart.
Once again people a Pope and Mary CANNOT forgive sins , Only praying to God / Jesus forgive sins , Christ is the go between to God the Father .
Just make out up as you go.huh?
Only God can forgive any sin!
I’m catholic,
I think this out of touch with reality pope, needs to go! He; just as our president, stands against everything he’s suppose to hold high! Let’s take our world back everyone! This is no place to raise our children!
This is done periodically. It is a good thing.
