When Pope John Paul II’s mother, Emilia Wojtyla, was pregnant with the future Pope and saint, she was advised by her doctor to abort the child, citing complications, according to a book written by author Milena Kindziuk. They even told her that her life would be in danger if she gave birth to the child. However, Emilia, a devout Catholic, went ahead with the pregnancy, and Karol was born, though he lost his mother at the age of 8. If it were not for Emilia’s decision, we would not have had one of the best popes of the 20th century, who played an important role in the collapse of Soviet communism.
What we do today echoes in time and in eternity.
I’m going to stop smiling in photos.
We need to return to that time of not smiling
Mrs. O, photos of smiling bishops are the worst.
Makes you wonder about Luciferian influence upon the medical profession. What exactly behind this doctor’s “advice”?
Good lady who let herself be guided by God. And for this she gave us one of my favourite saints. Thank you Emilia.
Doctors and their “advice”- that’s why you should always get more than one opinion. The original Hippocratic Oath swore to “do no harm” or injustice.
… I will do no harm or injustice to them. Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. But I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art. I will not use the knife, not even, verily, on sufferers from stone, but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein.
They do not swear to it or are obliged to swear to “do no harm” in any modern doctors pledges to their profession. It’s all about honouring the big scientific egos that went before them. They miss the point that it is a doctors job to care first and foremost.
