Francis has met with the Italian woman and repeatedly expressed admiration for her since ascending to the papacy in 2013.
VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) – Pope Francis once again praised notorious Italian abortionist Emma Bonino, saying he has “great respect” for her, although he does not “share her ideas.”
In an interview published May 3 in Italy’s widely read newspaper Corriere Della Sera, Pope Francis spoke on a variety of topics, including Russia’s war with Ukraine, and Italian politics.
At one point, the 84-year-old Pontiff spoke about his relations with key Italian figures, including the former president of the European Central Bank turned Prime Minister Mario Draghi, and Bonino.
“The relationship with Mario Draghi is good, very good. Already in the past, when he was at the European Central Bank, I asked him for advice,” said Francis, before adding:
“I have great respect for Emma Bonino: I don’t share her ideas but she knows Africa better than anyone. In front of this woman I say, chapeau.”
Bonino had an illegal abortion when she was age 27, and after spending four months abroad evading arrest, returned to Italy where she served a 10-day prison term. Bonino credited her arrest with causing the topic of abortion to take center stage in Italy.

That is b/c Frank is a Satanist.

Praising someone he admits is evil.
I do not recognize this man as Pope!
Francis thinks he makes the rules. If it’s his church, it’s just a building occupied by men; nothing more.
I have Bergoglio on ignore.
I remain confident Catholics will survive this ..... Brandon of the Vatican.
Socialist, Satanist. Potato, potata.
Is this a Babylon Bee article?
Is there a Christian on earth who can explain this guy?
How do devout Catholics deal with this?
“In front of this woman I say, chapeau.”
What the heck does that mean? I say “hat”? Does he mean he tips his hat? Is there some other meaning to this word?
“I do not recognize this man as Pope!”
No Pope, no POTUS, at least there’s still a PM at 10 Downing Street.
If ever a pope needed poisoning this is the guy.
As a Catholic the only pope I ever respected was John Paul 2.
The rest of them I wouldn’t give dog spit for.
Especially this clown. He needs to be thrown in the Tiber.
Declare him anathema and read the bible. At least that’s what I do.

More-or-less the same way patriotic Americans deal with Joe Biden. Obey his lawful commands. Don’t trust what comes out of his mouth without verifying it against sources known to be reliably truthful.
