Vatican Removes Anti-Abortion Activist From the Priesthood

In other words, pro-creation is not the purpose of sex. But there are other reasons some resort to abortion other than promiscuity. 'Let the little children come to me' does not sound like Jesus would approve of abortion.

In this historical context...by the way...where hormonal pills enable women to reduce the risk of unwanted pregnancies by 2%...abortion seems an anachronistic issue to me.
I am not saying that one shouldn't have sex to enjoy life. I am just saying that abortion is extremely avoidable.

I am not opposed to Vatican II. Unless Vatican II necessarily means to spread the gates of the Vatican to Freemasonry. In that case, I am.
What Vatican II brought was nothing but turmoil and assassinations. Pope Luciani assassinated within the Vatican, and Pope Wojtila nearly assassinated as well.
It's normal, I guess that now Popes abide by the Freemasonic agenda...because they don't want to die.
Enough with the goofy, nonsensical conspiracy theory spam. :rolleyes:

Not quite...because the federal level switched the matter to the local (state) level.
So it's states which would impose the ban on abortion.

On matters of abortion, it is those like Justice Thomas who would like to go further on many issues we once though settled law.

Nobody can deny that the Vatican is a state and as all states, it is politicized.
With a leader that said that Trump is not a Christian because Christian build bridges not walls.
How does one echo Christ without stepping on political toes?

But I was referring to your goofy freemason nonsense. Let's keep the conversation within the realm of reality and not muddy the water with the illuminati, ghosts, and goblins. 'k? 'k.

But the facts are Father Pavone was very active in the pro-life movement and that should be something rewarded by the Vatican which has the Pontifical Pro-Life Academy. It shouldn't be something punished.
So there is something absolutely paradoxical, considering the fact that so many priests who committed the most heinous crimes weren't laicized.

This is the Church of Bergoglio. A Pope who said "it's good I am a political pope....and as whether I am a pawn or not...maybe".
How many of them are pro-Trump even after all he's done? How many take the lord's name in vain?
And, ultimately, the Vatican/Catholic Church are literally making up all the rules and policies as they go along.

Do you know what Freemasons are? Please tell me. I'd love to hear what my best friend's dad is really like. I didn't know my grandfather much so enlighten me.
I did crack their cypher so just do straight quotations when referencing their books if it's coded.

It's a respectable association, but one cannot have the cake and eat it. Either you are a cardinal or you are a Mason.

It’s not for me to say who is Christian and who isn’t - I’m not even sure to what extent I’m Christian myself. But Trump certainly doesn’t talk or behave like any sort of follower of Christ’s message of love and compassion. And that image of him holding a Bible upside down outside a church he’d never set foot in appears to speak volumes.

As does his "two Corinthians." It's like an American spy in Nazi Germany not starting a hand count with the thumb.

I have never heard anyone from the Vatican say "there are zero Freemasons within the Vatican walls".
When they say that, I will be convinced.
First of all, whether there are any of them within the Vatican tells us nothing.

Secondly, conspiracy theories abound dealing with the Vatican, thus supporting evidence is needed, which I have not seen supplied on this matter by anyone.

If abortion becomes allowed in the eyes of Jesus, sex becomes mere lust and devoid of its spiritual reasons.
Because abortion basically means that for the sake of lust, people are disposed to suppress a life.
Do you believe the same with birth control and withdrawal prior to ejaculation?

IMO, I think the reality is that the vast majority of people just enjoying doing it, thus not necessarily trying to have children. Is that morally wrong? IMO, not intrinsically.
