179 "Adopting a child is an act of love, offering the gift of a family to someone who has none. It is important to insist that legislation help facilitate the adoption process, above all in the case of unwanted children, in order to prevent their abortion or abandonment. Those who accept the challenge of adopting and accepting someone unconditionally and gratuitously become channels of God's love. For he says, "Even if your mother forgets you, I will not forget you" (Is 49:15).
He didn't focus on "mass murderers" as this was not addressed by the Synods on the Family.
The purpose of the Synod was supposedly the Sacrament of Marriage and families, not homosexual unions, not adulterous unions or any other “irregular unions”.
But the Catholic Church teaching on the former has long been understood. Pope Francis convened both SinNods so Kasper, Marx could poke their noses under the tent.
“Hence it is can [sic] no longer simply be said that all those in any ‘irregular’ situation are living in a state of mortal sin and are deprived of sanctifying grace.”
“Each country or region, moreover, can seek solutions better suited to its culture and sensitive to its traditions and local needs.”
Francis is as guilty as Pontius Pilate was washing his hands.
July 10, 2015: He blesses a gay couple. Pope Francis wrote in response to a letter from Francesca Pardi, author of the children’s book Why do you have two moms?. Pardi summarized the letter on her Facebook page, saying the pope “hopes for an always more fruitful activity at the service of young generations and sharing authentic human and Christian values.” The pope ended the letter with his “apostle’s blessing” for Pardi and her partner, Maria Silvia Fiengo.
Do you think that’s an “act of love”?
