Notorious abortionist lauded by Pope Francis to speak at Catholic church in Italy

Emma Bonino, a former abortionist once praised by Pope Francis as “a great Italian,” will appear in a Catholic church to present the pro-migrant campaign “ERO STRANIERO: La humanità che fa bene” (“I was a stranger: Humanity that does good”)

As an abortion rights activist and an abortionist herself, Bonino is directly or indirectly responsible for the deaths of approximately six million Italian babies between 1968 and today.

Bonino’s appearance in the Church of San Defendente, Ronco di Cassato, on July 26 will be one of several events celebrating World Refugee Day 2017. The moderator of Bonino’s talk will be parish priest Don Mario Marchiori.  

On his blog “Stilum Curae,” Vatican-based journalist Marco Tosatti remarked dryly that “One assumes that now, after having helped deprive this country of an enormous number of human beings, [Bonino] will be able — in church — to push for a nice ethnic replacement program in Italy.”  

More than 500,000 migrants have entered Italy in the past three years.

Bonino came to the attention of Catholics outside her native Italy when in 2016 Pope Francis told an interviewer for the Corriere della Sera that she was “among the great ones of Italy.”

To those who “blink” at Francis’ admiration for Bonino, Francis cited Bonino’s work for refugees: “She is the person who understands Africa best. And she has offered the best service to Italy through understanding Africa.”

Francis told his interviewer that he has been told Bonino is someone “who thinks very differently from us. But [I say] patience. You have to look at people, what they do.”

Bonino, now 69, had an illegal abortion at age 27 and, as she told an interviewer for feminist website European Database, the experience inspired her to go into politics. In 1975, she began to work as a volunteer abortionist for the Italian Information Center on Sterilization and Abortion she founded with Adela Faccio. Bonino personally performed 10,000 abortions. After four months abroad evading arrest, she returned to Italy and served a 10-day prison term. She believes her arrest caused the abortion issue to “burst” in Italy. Certainly it propelled her into the limelight. For more than 40 years, she has been a hero to Italian left-wing media.

....

Recently Bonino has taken up the cause of mass migration to Italy from Africa and the Middle East. WIthout irony, she says this migration is necessary to Italy’s survival because of the low Italian birthrate.

This guy is one sick mofo.

A seriously evil, evil man masquerading as a righteous man.

Wow you can't make this stuff up. Just unbelievable. Lauding abortionists, there's not going to be much left of Catholic Doctrine by the time this guy is done.

The drug fueled gay sex orgies at the Vatican are of a piece with this.

Challenging times to be Catholic.

“Challenging times to be Catholic.”

The challenge to Catholics is to wait till this idiot tires of his activism and retires. Then Catholics must rebuild the church and the papacy.

If anything, Africa and the ME need to practice restraint. Their populations pressure the environment in those areas beyond its capacity to support people.

Between wars, drought and just plain pig-ignorance, they have too many people and are producing much too many more.

The Vatican should be addressing that fact and not embracing some fantasy about a replacement demographic that will erase western history forever.
