I also consider the situation of a woman with a failed marriage in her past and who also had an abortion. Then this woman remarries, and she is now happy and has five children. That abortion in her past weighs heavily on her conscience and she sincerely regrets it. She would like to move forward in her Christian life. What is the confessor to do?
We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods. This is not possible. Francis, Bishop of Rome
Pope Francis' niece has recently revealed that she was advised by her uncle, at that time Archbishop Bergoglio, that there was no need for her to wait for a declaration of annulment of her marriage before she entered into adultery.
