No, he's giving a schismatic group dispensation to absolve people of this mortal sin. Priests can forgive this sin in Confession.

Pope Francis will give all priests discretion during the Roman Catholic Church's upcoming Holy Year to formally forgive women who have had abortions...

Wait, the Pope can forgive sin? The Pope can confer the ability to forgive sin to others? Huh, I guess then Christ died for nothing because a man can forgive the sins of another man. Who knew?

In Catholicism, a priest can forgive anyone a sin. They must atone for that sin and in the case of murder, must turn themselves into the police.

This is why “atheist Bill Maher” is on the pope’s “side” and Catholic Santorum is not.

Friggin' unbelievable.

Whatever is he thinking. Abortion is a well thought out decision. It's murder.

Dude. Where’s the (SATIRE) tag?

FR guidelines require you to post (SATIRE) in the headline of obvious sarcastic and satirical articles.

“Pope Francis will give all priests discretion during the Roman Catholic Church’s upcoming Holy Year to formally forgive women who have had abortions, in the Argentine pontiff’s latest move towards a more open and inclusive church. “

Only God can forgive sins .

Forgiveness? Under whose authority? He has no more authority to forgive sins than do I.

This man is really bad. If I were RC I’d leave the church...heading the same way the Episcopal church went.

“Priests can forgive this sin in Confession.” Magic Thinking ... spitting in God’s face.

No sin is unforgiveable if one turns to Jesus and asks with repentance. That’s Christianity 101.

While I think this will only encourage more abortions, I cannot get past John 20:23

OTOH, I know several women who have had abortions, have sought forgiveness and have had their sin forgiven through penance. They have ALL become solid pro-life advocates (protesting in front of clinics, appearing on talk shows to talk about the evils of abortion, etc)

You shoplifted a candy bar your penance is to say three Our Fathers. You killed your baby say three Our Fathers.

[Pope Francis will give all priests discretion during the Roman Catholic Church’s upcoming Holy Year to formally forgive women who have had abortions]

This is an act of futility. GOD has already forgiven those who repent for abortion. HE doesn’t even remember what they did.

God forgives and forgets our sin. Isaiah 43:25 says, “I, even I, am HE who blots out your transgressions, for MT OWN sake, and remembers your sins no more

It is sinful to bring back forgiven transgressions.

Penance should be ‘work’. Change the Our Father to the 2000 year old version, Pater Noster ... Make the sinner learn the dead language.
