Had the Holy Father not demonized guns... He could find clear answers regarding self defense in the CCC and Luke 22:36.
The Churrch has documented history of using weapons... Never a history of using contraception.
The Pope’s own words may very well bury the Little Sisters of the Poor in their case against the Obamacare mandate. Terrible.

The nuns in the Congo story was a total fabrication that first appeared in a Jesuit magazine in the late 70s. This, in turn , was based on a discussion of hypotheticals that a moral theologian had presented (but certainly not supporting doing such a thing) in the early 70s.
The Congo war in which this supposed papal permission took place, moreover, was two years before Pope Paul VI was even elected pope.
