Vatican defends new pro-abortion appointee at pro-life academy: abortion not his ‘focus’
LifeSiteNews ^ | 6/19/2017 | Pete Baklinsk

Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, the head of the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy for Life, has doubled down in defending a new member appointed by Pope Francis to the Academy who has argued that abortion should be legal until “18 weeks after conception.”

Paglia said that while the appointee’s pro-abortion stance is “not my personal position, and much less the Academy,” he nevertheless defended the recent selection of pro-abortion University of Oxford Professor Nigel Biggar.

This has been the excuse from 10,000 bishops, and colleges, when honoring some pro-abort: “He won’t be talking about abortion.”

Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia is in serious error. the “appointee” should not have ANY position in the Catholic Church.

Biggar is a member of a think tank that helps form public policy decisions:

The McDonald Centre fosters conversation both between Christian theology and other disciplines, and between academia and those who shape public deliberation and policy. Into its discussions it draws scholars from around the world, as well as public office-holders, civil servants, policy-makers, and opinion-formers. By publishing the research it supports, the Centre communicates to academic, church, and wider public audiences. The work of the Centre responds to a growing awareness that sensitively engaged and carefully articulated moral and political theology has an important contribution to make to the flourishing of institutions and individuals within liberal democracies.

How much you wanna bet that he and his group have helped to form the present attitude that hospitals in Great Britain have concerning euthanasia?

“We will always be against every abortion practice. And we want to get more and more personalities involved in this battle.”

Nothing says you’re against every abortion practice like hiring a pro abortionist.

At this rate, it won’t be long before they’re performing abortions in churches as a sacrament.

Nigel Biggar, Take a look:

Oh well, at least his eyes aren’t so close together that he can see through a keyhole with both of them at the same time, like the Royal Family.

“Bring back the real Pope.”

Until that happens, Catholics don’t have a “real” Church!

This is what you get when obama becomes pope. Religious Newspeak.

I accuse most Catholic Church leaders (Cardinals, Bishops, and Priests) of being in league with the EVIL pope.

They are just as GUILTY as the so-called “moderate Muslims” who REFUSE to condemn the acts of the EVIL jihadis.

This so-called “pope” is a deceiver. He is no Christian. He proves it every day.

How can the clergy or the saints stand by and watch this evil man DESTROYING their religion?

It is just like the Muslims allowing ISIS to define their religion.
