In Catholicism, premeditated murder can be forgiven. I thought all sins were forgiven in Christianity if the sinner repents and pays for his sins. Where did I go wrong?? What part of “Go and sin no more” did I miss?
It will never register in your catholic mind that paying for your sins is the antithesis of Grace. so ... goodbye.
I think the Pope is downgrading the serious nature of abortion by this action. This is where he deserves criticism. In September the Vatican is going to sign a United Nations document that approves of abortion in the name of reproductive rights.
