PopeWatch: Year of Mercy

PopeWatch2-199x300

 

From the only reliable source of Catholic news on the net, Eye of the Tiber:

 

 

Pope Francis announced Tuesday that he will allow Roman Catholic women to have as many abortions as they want during the upcoming Holy Year of Mercy, MSNBC is reporting.

According to MSNBC, Francis said that he will allow women the “discretion to absolve themselves of the venial sin of abortion if they had already procured one and had a contrite heart.” They also went on to report that Francis urged women who were wanting to procure an abortion to wait until the beginning of the Year of Mercy beginning December 8 so that they would “not need a contrite heart at all.”

The MSNBC reporter told EOTT this afternoon that Pope Francis announced that the holy year was a way to promote inclusiveness no matter what the cost, saying that the Church could finally “make more evident its mission to be Episcopalian.”

The Holy Father also reportedly implored priests who offered forgiveness for abortion to “stop wasting their time, and to enjoy a year off from hearing confessions, as the Year of Mercy would be “so freaking abundant in mercy” that nothing could possibly separate the people of God from his love.”

 

When asked to comment by PopeWatch, Pope Francis said, “All you gringos are loco, but MSNBC is mucho loco!”

I am no prude, but I do not find this humor very funny. Women having abortions is not an appropriate for humor. Too callous to the reality in this one person’s opinion.

Kevin.

Your not alone on this bit of satire.
Some things are just too sad and upsetting to poke fun at.

I didn’t get it. There is nothing funny about abortion, unless you are a Planned Parenthood staffer playing (desecrating) with the remains of the dead baby or laughing all the way to the bank with proceeds from the sale of baby organs.
