Pope Francis extends Catholic priests' right to forgive abortion - $199.95

 [Pope Francis extends Catholic priests' right to forgive abortion by Tim Hume, Cristiana Moisescu and Lindsay Isaac CNN] "Pope Francis has extended the powers of Catholic priests to forgive abortions, making the announcement in an apostolic letter released Monday.

It continues a special dispensation granted last year for the duration of the Year of Mercy, which finished Sunday.

"I wish to restate as firmly as I can that abortion is a grave sin, since it puts an end to an innocent life. In the same way, however, I can and must state that there is no sin that God's mercy cannot reach and wipe away when it finds a repentant heart seeking to be reconciled with the Father," the letter states.

"May every priest, therefore, be a guide, support and comfort to penitents on this journey of special reconciliation," the letter continues.

"I henceforth grant to all priests, in virtue of their ministry, the faculty to absolve those who have committed the sin of procured abortion..." Full text: Pope Francis extends Catholic priests' right to forgive abortion Jud 11

That's a bald faced lie...

Oh, he didn't mention the bill? He will (Jud 11). Forgiveness comes by God's grace (Luke 7:42) not an antichrist (Matt. 24:4-5, 24) in a Dagon fish god hat.

"The pope needs to know that priests cannot forgive sins because the Bible declares that God is the only one who can forgive sins (Mark 2:7). In fact, the Pharisees, not knowing that Jesus was God, accused Him of blasphemy when He forgave the sins of a paralytic (Luke 5:21)..."

I won't even entertain your childish comment.

Mk 10:15

Forgiveness is based on Christ's shed blood (Heb. 9:22).

Gee, I didn't know that!

It is God's nature to forgive (Ps. 86:5). It is your pope's nature to lie (Gal. 1:6-12).

We are saved by grace alone (Eph 2:8-9), through faith alone (Eph 1:13; 2Ti 1:10), in Christ alone (Isa 45:21,22; 59:16; Ac 4:12). Roman Catholics deny this (Jude 1:11).

We're ...Priests being able to forgive this sin is nothing new...

Did they make you feel better? Trust in them, you'll die (Jud 11). Trust in the Lord, you'll live (Ro 8:14).

The Lord appointed them!

That's why they're raping little boys (Mt 7:20). You can trust in them and die a second death (Re 20:14) or you can trust in the Lord and live (Matt. 12:17–21).

That's a sick twisted lie.

You trust in wicked idolators (Jud 11 ). I do not (Ro 8:14).

Anti Catholicism is probably the last prejudice...

We hate lies and deceit (Jud 11). We're supposed to (Pr 8:13).

The pope lacks the authority to extend any right to forgive.... The pope is a mere man, only God forgives sin. No person comes to forgiveness with God except through His son Christ. Just nonsense...

Yeppers (Luke 24:47).

Well, I suppose such a statement "Jesus loves me" allows you to join in, slandering another person's religious beliefs...

You'd prefer never being corrected in your error? Ga 4:16, Ac 20:20

Why would you ask a sinner for forgiveness?
