Pope Francis praised America’s Roman Catholic church for its “unfailing commitment” to the pro-life cause on Wednesday, saying it was “the primary reason” for his visit to the country.

LOL!
He may grant Gosnell a spiritual “pardon”, since he’s all for depopulation.
I believe the Pope has an honesty problem. Who does he confess his sins to?
True; there has to be an intention to avoid it in the future as well. What makes abortion worse is that the victim can’t pardon the perpetrator.
So, when is he going to get to this “Primary Reason”?
And what about a statement regarding the Catholic position on so-called same sex “marriage”?
Not in this world.
At the end of the interview, the Pope said he goes to confession “every 15 or 20 days” with a Franciscan priest who comes to him at the Vatican. “I never had to call an ambulance to take him back, in shock over my sins!” he joked. He also said he believed eternity would be a “mystery of encounter … almost unimaginable but it must be very beautiful and wonderful to meet with God.”
It seems I read the name of this priest too, somewhere, very recently, but I can't find it.
Has he seen the Planned Parenthood videos? They are hideous.
I'm glad he said something about the Pro life issue.
I pray for his safety and wellbeing (I'm Catholic) .
What is deeply troubling isn't so much what he has said, so much as what he hasn't said.
The silence is deafening.
Lord have mercy.
There isn’t any law that says because he comes here he has to cotton up to the most evil man in the world (loves and promotes everything evil with a big, big smile therefore drawing droves of people into his evil web). The point is that if he snubbed “Obama” because of his vastly evil inclinations then he would have put a wedge between him, his evil and himself. It would have been an opportunity to expose “Obama” for the evil man he is. Unfortunately it seems this pope may have more in common with him than we know. Global warming is a religion that really is meant to control the masses. Obviously this pope has drank that Kool-Aid as well as the deadly and poisonous Kool-Aid of communism which is responsible for the death of untold millions as well as stomping out the knowledge of God from hosts and hosts of the peoples of our world damning them to eternal hell.
Right. He’s just trying to shore up his waning support among believing Catholics resulting from his left-wing jihad over the past several months. Catholics who go to mass on Easter and Christmas are probably good with the jihad. But the ones who attend mass regularly are much more conservative.
So, will he be visiting any abortion mills? Will he urge defunding of planned parenthood? Will he deny communion to politicians who vote to fund chopping up babies and selling their livers?
This is an untruth. I presume you didn't know that, because if you did, it would be a slander.
From Laudato Si:
50. Instead of resolving the problems of the poor and thinking of how the world can be different, some can only propose a reduction in the birth rate. At times, developing countries face forms of international pressure which make economic assistance contingent on certain policies of “reproductive health”. Yet “while it is true that an unequal distribution of the population and of available resources creates obstacles to development and a sustainable use of the environment, it must nonetheless be recognized that demographic growth is fully compatible with an integral and shared development”. To blame population growth instead of extreme and selective consumerism on the part of some, is one way of refusing to face the issues.

The heading and the “quoted text” are incorrect. The Pope did not “praise America’s Roman Catholic church for its “unfailing commitment” to the pro-life cause on Wednesday, saying it was “the primary reason” for his visit to the country.” That is only what the attached article says he said. The actual quote is in the second paragraph at the link. Sorry.
Yes, this non-confrontational nonsense is theater; I don’t know why anyone supports this financially anymore. I stopped any meaningful giving a long time ago because I have bills to pay raising a family (and not with an opulent lifestyle at all); does anyone see anything sacred or holy in this anymore?
Those photos are a great indication of what has become so common in the Church: Priests that no longer believe in the Divine Presence in the Eucharist.
"That example I mentioned shortly before about that woman who was expecting her eighth child and already had seven who were born with caesareans. That is an irresponsibility That woman might say 'no, I trust in God.’ But, look, God gives you means to be responsible. Some think that -- excuse the language -- that in order to be good Catholics, we have to be like rabbits. No. Responsible parenthood", Papa Tango.
Taking the above paragraph in full context, Mrs. Don-o, what is the difference between Francis' "Responsible Parenthood" from "Planned Parenthood"?
Mrs. Don-O...either you are a Papal misinformation agent or you just blatantly lie.

“Sustainability” is the key word and can be found over 100 times in this document that he’s pushing at the UN in the next few days. What does that word mean when it comes to humanity multiplying?
Jesus Christ, who is none other than God, declared for us to (Genesis 1:28) “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
I’ve know far too many Catholics who consider themselves more “Catholic” than actually Christians. He’s Marxist, he’s a NWO stooge, he’s a universalist, and more importantly, he blatantly goes against Biblical teachings time and again in his ridiculous statements that he makes, yet because he’s your “Vicar of Christ” (which is Blasphemous to the extreme), you defend him. He wants “Global Citizenship” for all. Does that not even raise a red flag with you?
Most conservative Catholics are turned off by that phrase.
He’s pushing this:
http://www.un.org/disarmament/
And this:
http://www.un.org/disarmament/convarms/salw/
I suppose if I lived 500 years ago, I’d be burned at the stake eh?
If you read the article, the Pope did not use the words “Roman Catholic”, nor did he use the term “pro-life”.
Ultimately BISHOPS Didn’t support Obamacare because of the Non existent Abortion protection Clause. Bart Stupack went for Obamacare and sealed the deal.When Open issued an executive Order and Ignored it attacking Church since then. That crazy Sister Kathleen head of ACHA ignored Bishops and signed on with Obama.
In Spring 2008 Obama Met President USCCB Cardinal George Of Chicago. He explained his Plan of Contraception abortion in Obamacare. George said the Catholic Church will close all their Hospitals in USA before they would Violate Prolife Principals. Obama said I will buy them all when I become President. Cardinal George of Chicago we won’t sell them to YOU. Valerie Jarrett never forgot.
