The Pope said that 'the Church loses its pastoral nature' when Communion is denied to pro-abortion Catholic politicians and that 'it causes a political problem.'
VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) – Pope Francis has broken his silence on the U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which grants states the power to outlaw abortion, saying that bishops must be “pastoral” with pro-abortion politicians.
In a 90-minute interview with Reuters’ Vatican correspondent Philip Pullella, published Monday, the Pope said that while he respected the court’s decision to overturn the landmark 1973 ruling which imposed abortion on all 50 states, he cannot “speak about it from a juridical point of view” because he had not studied the law, the report stated.
Although declining to comment on the once purported, and now overruled, “right” to abortion in the U.S., the pontiff did state his opposition to abortion, likening the barbaric practice to “hiring a hitman” in remarks reminiscent of his 2018 condemnation of abortion.
The Pope asked: “Is it legitimate, is it right, to eliminate a human life to resolve a problem?”
Pullella reportedly questioned Francis on the controversial issue of Catholic politicians receiving Holy Communion while openly supporting the “right” to kill children in the womb, especially in light of Catholic U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi regularly receiving the Eucharist. Pelosi has advocated abortion and subsequently been barred from Holy Communion by her local bishop, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco.

he should’ve stayed silent.
As a practicing Catholic all i can say is this POS never disappoints to further prove he is a POS.
Not my Pope.
Apostate Pope Ping
I told you he was only worried about the political fallout for his Marxist buddies 🤪
The Pope should act like a political head of state when discussing foreign internal affairs of another nation. It’s none of his leftistnesses business anyway. Catholic doctrine, if I recall, condemns abortion and even contraception as a general rule. Maybe he needs a sister to sit him down and review catechism and doctrine.
Anyways.
Hang the DJ (Pope) /the smiths
Nancy’s cheque must have clearwd.
I am glad I am Protestant
Frankie Da Fraud. The Joke of a Pope.
Always dislike the catholic church ...not the Catholis themselves obviously. Pope, shut your mouth.
Most DEFINITELY Nazi Peelousy’s, and XiJinBiden’s pope!
He needs to carry a 7 foot aluminum pole over his head in a Thunder storm.
You and me both.
Could we declare this guy anathema and get it over with?

While I sympathize wholeheartedly, claiming “not my Pope” overlooks the cold reality that the Holy Spirit allowed Francis’ election. And the Holy Spirit never does anything without a reason, does He?
Pray fervently for the conversion of hearts. Imagine Pelosi or Biden publicly repenting of their current pro-death stance - what a coup for Our Lord, eh?
I don’t call him the Poope for nothing.
