Pro-life activists worldwide criticise Pope Francis for relativizing abortion by equating it with social-justice issues like migration and poverty.
In his Apostolic Exhortation
Gaudete et Exsultate, 101, Francis claims that the lives of people suffering are equally sacred as the lives of innocent children ignoring the fact that suffering and being killed is in no way the same thing.
Continuing his zig-zag strategy Cardinal Gerhard Müller has criticised these voices talking to
NcRegister.com (April 21). Müller claimed that it is clearly improper to categorize Francis as an ideologue of the anti-culture of death.
But it is a fact that Francis
awarded in 2017 the Dutch politician Lilianne Ploumen, a ruthless propagandist for abortion, with the Pontifical Order of St Gregory.
In Italy he promotes people like
Emma Bonino who, although no medical doctor, performed more than 10,000 illegal abortions herself. Bonino is perceived in her own country as the Italian "Mrs Abortion".
Francis also cultivates a close friendship with the evil Italian journalist
Eugenio Scalfari whose newspaper
La Repubblica is the leading pro-abortion rag in Italy.

American Catholics need their own Church. Just do what Henry VIII did but peacefully. Confiscate all Church property and stop feeding the beast. No more collections until a new hierarchy of the US Catholic Church is established. No man born of woman except Jesus is without sin or infallible.
Also get rid of sex abusing priests and the bishops who covered up for them. Turn them over to the authorities. Nobody is above the law.
Mueller. What to think about Mueller? So, terribly exasperating, is he.
Possibly, he is so holy that he is a danger to the faith.
It makes me sick to think of Pope Francis' unconscionable political alliance with his key "global policy" advisor Jeffrey Sachs, literally one of the most prominent abortion promoters in the world.
At some point the Pope and his supporters need to worry less about parsing his words to demonstrate how ‘orthodox’ he is in the peculiar language of theology, but worry about how he is perceived by the people he is supposed to be leading - the scandal he is committing and to which they are complicit is what they will be most harshly judged upon when facing the Lord.
If the Pope can explain his actions in clearer language then he is bound to do so. And if he can’t, then he is bound to be quiet.
