A Vatican official is defending the decision to invite pro-abortion Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders to speak at an upcoming conference on economic and environmental issues, as Pope Francis has reiterated the Catholic Church’s opposition to abortion.

“No alleged right to one’s own body can justify a decision to terminate that life,” the pope writes in his latest apostolic exhortation, “which is an end in itself and which can never be considered the ‘property’ of another human being.” Francis also expresses support for adoption and opposition to euthanasia and population control.

However, critics have suggested that inviting Sanders to speak at the April 15 conference, hosted by the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences on April 15, is inappropriate given the Vermont senator’s support for abortion at any stage of pregnancy at taxpayer expense.

Peculiar article. One must read until the very last paragraph before one finds that the bishop is named "Sorondo"......who, coincidentally......just happens to be Argentinian.

Kind of like Notre Dame inviting Obama to receive an Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree for giving the commencement address. Ignoring the facts that Obama hates Catholics and everything they stand for, and that he knows ZERO about constitutional law.

This pope needs to be fired.

“Alleged” right? If I have no right to my own body, who does? And I can’t very well pursue life, liberty and the POH if someone else owns me. And the aforementioned condition is “alleged” to be Creator-endowed.
