Pope Francis Honors Dutch Abortion Activist with Pontifical Medal of Knighthood
Breitbart ^ | 17 Jan 2018 | Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.

Posted on 01/18/2018 9:10:06 PM PST by Lera

Pope Francis has conferred the title of “Commander of the Pontifical Equestrian Order of St. Gregory the Great” on Lilianne Ploumen, a Dutch politician and vocal agitator for abortion rights.

Last year, Ploumen founded a pro-abortion organization called She Decides, which offers funding and support for international NGOs that provide, facilitate or campaign for abortion.

*snip* In an interview with Dutch radio, Ploumen said she views the honor as a sign of the pope’s progressivism, as well as acknowledgement for her work in supporting abortion rights.

Ms. Ploumen said that the award came after much personal investment in contacts with the Vatican, which she defined as “lobbying.” *snip*

The approval of candidates for this high honor must be given by the pope himself.

The Vatican press office has confirmed that the honor was indeed awarded to Lilianne Ploumen, but insists that it was not meant to signal approval of her pro-abortion activities.

20th century lamebrains who haven’t figured out yet that this outrage is now being spread across the world at the speed of electrons.

Reflecting on JP’s papacy, the sense of family was profound. He is missed.
