But “finally” implies at least to me that he has “finally” broken a public silence on abortion.

It can definitely come across that way and I apologize.

He has said, over and over and over that abortion is wrong.

I just really wanted him to say it then.

I agree with you that his condemnations of abortion in the US could have been more direct and blunt.

i’m 47. I remember John Paul II. He was very blunt :)

hated communism.

this pope has condemned lavish lifestyles of clergy that i never knew existed. I like that he did that.

That comment about people being fake around Christmas because of the Paris bombing threw me off. It wasn’t Christians that did that.

But he hasn’t strayed from church doctrine. Not that I have read.

He sure has a hard time saying the word abortion.

He also has a hard time saying the words “Hell” and “damnation”.

I know what you mean. But I’ve read that Pope Francis talks about the reality and the dangers of the devil (Satan) more than any other modern pontiff.
