The press using weasel wording to make it sound like Francis said something completely different.
Too bad he pretty much sets himself up for this almost daily.
This Pope is prone to mouth diarrhea, you just knew Latin American Priest = Liberation Theology Brain Donor
Bingo.
“The press using weasel wording to make it sound like Francis said something completely different.”
Afraid we can’t blame the press this time. Pope Francis specifically referred to an entirely different situation, i.e., nuns who were in danger of being raped, and were, therefore, permitted to take birth control pills. There was no intent on the nuns’ part to pervert the true end of a normal, moral act of intercourse. Women are not in danger of being “raped” by their husbands, so using contraception to avoid getting pregnant with a baby infected by a virus would be no different than using contraception to prevent getting pregnant with a baby who had, say, Down Syndrome.
This Pope is a dangerous dope.
“The press using weasel wording to make it sound like Francis said something completely different.”
Yep.
“Too bad he pretty much sets himself up for this almost daily.”
TRUE! He doesn’t seem to learn.
It’s not the press. The Pope really said this, showing himself to be something we always knew, a fool and the total tool of the UN, which set of the Zika panic in the first place.
That said, he has hinted that he has wanted to do this before (on his trip to the Philippines, even before the Zika panic), and this just gave him the opportunity.
