Pope to allow absolution of abortion during Holy Year

Uhh must have spaketh unto the lard…

Pope Francis has decreed that priests may absolve women of the “sin of a procured abortion” during Holy Year next year.

In Catholic teaching, it is normally only bishops or the Pope himself who may absolve the faithful of the sin of abortion, which leads to excommunication from the Church.

In keeping with his ministry of mercy, however, Pope Francis has extended his powers of forgiveness to those “missionaries of mercy” priests who will visit Catholic dioceses and parishes during Holy Year.

The announcement of the new measure was made in the Vatican this week by Archbishop Rino Fisichella, the president of the Pontifical Council for the New Evangelisation and the Pope’s point man on the organisation of Holy Year.

“The missionaries of mercy are priests sent out by the Holy Father at the beginning of Lent. The Pope is sending them out [to dioceses and parishes] as a tangible sign of how a priest should be a man of pardon, close to everyone…”

Stop Abortion With ‘Deadly Force’ GOP Candidate Frank Szabo

WTF… Republican = Taliban
“A Republican candidate in New Hampshire backed down on Thursday from a suggestion he would use “deadly force” to stop doctors from performing abortions, saying he “let his imagination get out of control.” Frank Szabo, who is running for sheriff in Hillsborough County, caused a uproar with his threats to crack down on legal abortion with arrests, prosecution and further actions aimed at doctors…”.

MANILA, Jan 6, 2011 (IPS) – Support for reproductive health legislation, popularly known as the RH Bill here, has snowballed on social websites and among peer networks, yet passage and funding of the bill remains uncertain. Catholic bishops have long used the threat of excommunication in the raging debates over use of modern contraceptive methods – such as pills, IUDs and condoms – in the Southeast-Asian nation of over 92 million, 85 percent of whom are Catholic.

In response to the Catholic Church’s vehement opposition to the bill, activists staged the first ‘Excommunication Party’ as 2010 closed.

The event dubbed, “If Supporting the RH Bill Means Excommunication, Excommunicate Me!” was hosted by secular group Filipino Freethinkers and was advertised as a night of “dinner, entertainment and dissent.”

There are six RH bills pending at the House, all allowing the use of artificial methods of family planning, like condoms and pills – the Church allows couples to use only the natural family planning method.

It is estimated that 4,000 babies swell the country’s population every day.

The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) has threatened excommunication for politicians who support the RH Bill, which provides for universal access to methods and information on birth control and maternal care. Catholic groups have claimed that some artificial contraceptives actually induce abortion and that the RH Bill promotes a “culture of death and immorality” by promoting abortion and promiscuity among youth.

In a recent incident at the Manila Cathedral, members of Pro-Life Philippines – led by Eric Manalang, their president and one of the RH Bill’s most outspoken opponents – barred a group of students, urban poor mothers and young professionals from attending a prayer service tackling the RH Bill.

“Satan, get away from us! You should have asked your mother to abort you,” were just a few of the statements hurled by Pro-Life members in a video captured by the Filipino Freethinkers, which was screened during the party.
