Pope: Abortion? Meh

Post by 93henfan »

Pope Francis will allow Catholic priests the power to forgive abortion, he announced in a letter released Monday.

Add Pope Francis to the list of angry liberals protesting the Trump presidency. :D

Let priests get married and I'll be impressed

And allow women to be priests and say birth control is allowed and encouraged.

This is one i'd like to see. There is no religious reason for not allowing priests to marry. It's all tradition, not dogma. And even then, there are married priests. Growing up we had Father Parker, he was married with 3 children. He was first an Episcopalian and then converted to Catholicism.
Turns out I might be a little gay. 89Hen 11/7/17
