(LifeSiteNews) — According to a prominent Jesuit priest and former chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives, supporting a woman’s right to “choose” to kill her unborn child is a “Catholic value.”
Defying 2,000 years of Church teaching, and the Catholic biblical view on the sanctity of human life, Fr. Pat Conroy SJ told the Washington Post in an interview that “a good Catholic” support a woman’s right to “choose” to commit an abortion.
“It’s an American value that each one of us can choose where our life is going,” stated Conroy on the topic of abortion. “That happens to be a Catholic value, too. That we should all use our gifts and our talents and our intelligence as best we can to make the best choices we have the freedom to make.”
“A good Catholic in our system could be saying: Given women in our system have this constitutional right [to abort their child], our task as fellow Christians, or as Catholics, is to make it possible for her to optimize her ability to make the choice,” he added.

Jesuit’s don’t count as part of the Church
He’s a Jesuit, says it all. I guess that mslso means that a ‘good Catholic’ can also have an abortion.
This YouTube link is to a discussion by an author who makes a good case that liberalism is a Marxist “religion” that must destroy the existing order to bring in a new utopia. Scary, really. (Lots of good references to how the philosophy developed, when and how.)

Um, no.
No Christian at all can support abortion.
Double meaning on “former”.
1. He is obviously former Catholic Chaplain to US House (as if a chaplain of any kind would make a difference in that corrupt collection of low IQ louts.
2. Don’t know when the transition occured, but he is obviously ALSO a former Catholic. (Just like Fuglosi.)
God gave Moses His commandments.
THOU SHALL NOT KILL.
One bumper sticker I saw once said “It’s easy to support abortion when you’re not the one being killed.”
He should be removed from the priesthood and be ex-communicated.
Well, “good catholics” supported the Inquisition so I don’t see why not.
Jesuit. That’s all you need to know. Satan has planted a fifth column inside the Church.
It’s simply not possible for someone to believe in the God of the Bible, and also believe that the God of the Bible thinks killing babies is ok.
EVIL INCARNATE!!!
I like “Abortion doesn’t make you unpregnant; it makes you the mother of a dead baby”.
I wish the Church excommunicated that bum.
That “utopia” is nothing more than hell on earth.
He needs our prayers. He’s going to hell
Sure sure supporting murder is fine. Never read the 10 commandments?
So, a little over 150 years ago slavery was legal in our country. It gave the "owner" of another human being the power/right to do with the slave as he willed, as he chose. I wonder, would the former chaplain support, “A good Catholic in our system could be saying: Given slave owners in our system have this right, our task as fellow Christians, or as Catholics, is to make it possible for him/her to optimize the ability to make decisions over the life of the slave."?
