Sad to see that the Curia is as wet-noodily as ever. The Democrats and Republicans should siphon off some Vatican operatives to spin,spin,spin.
I think, even the devil himself would claim to be more pro-life than the Pope if it could only be used to attacks the Catholic Church.
Unlike the position of some "Christian" churches, the eternal, unchangeable teaching of the Catholic Church is that abortion is intrinsically evil and cannot be endorsed under any circumstances. Those "Catholics" who procure, or actively participate in it are automatically excommunicated. Amen.
