Pope Francis, November 15, 2014, tells doctors to refuse to cooperate (to be "conscientious objectors") to abortion. And then:

"When so many times in my life as a priest I have heard objections: “But tell me, why the Church is opposed to abortion, for example? Is it a religious problem?” No, no. It is not a religious problem. “Is it a philosophical problem?” No, it is not a philosophical problem. It’s a scientific problem, because there is a human life there, and it is not lawful to take out a human life to solve a problem.

“But no, modern thought -- ”

But, listen, in ancient thought and modern thought, the word “kill” means the same thing.

Did you read this in the New York Times? In the WaPo??

In Reuters?

See it on CNN?

Or even in Rorate Caeli?

No?

Things that make you go "Hmmm..."

So he thinks it's only a scientific/legal problem? I'm sorry Francis, but it is a religious problem.

“May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Salus infirmorum, support the intentions with which you intend to continue your action. I ask you to please pray for me and I give you my heartfelt blessing.”

Now lets make it Biblical and not Idolize a fellow servant of God (Mary) or “Salus” a Roman godess.

May the Lord Jesus Christ, support the intentions with which you intend to continue your action. I ask you to please pray for me and I give you my heartfelt blessing.

Oh Church of Thyatira I Pray that your veil will be lifted.
