Pope Francis: having an abortion to keep your figure is a big problem

[_Abyssinia]

Vatican City, Jan 11, 2017 / 03:38 am (CNA/EWTN News).- On Wednesday Pope Francis issued strong words against worshipping idols, cautioning against the false hope that beauty, wealth and power can give, but which lead a person to trust in empty promises rather than in the Lord.

“It’s terrible, it hurts the soul what I heard one time years ago in the diocese of Buenos Aires: a woman, a good woman, very, very beautiful and who bragged about her beauty, commented as if it were natural: ‘Yeah, I had to have an abortion because my figure is so important.’”

Attitudes like this, he said “are the idols, and they take you on the wrong path and they don’t bring you happiness.”

Wait… you mean Pope Francis isn’t a bleeding heart liberal that supports gay marriage and abortion? And here I was with my “Catholics for Hillary” bumper sticker on my car. in all seriousness, abortion is a horrible thing and why we allow it in our supposedly civilized culture is beyond me. It is discrimination against The Unborn

With all due respect to the Pope, having an abortion for any reason is a big problem!

Peace, Mark

I do feel the article’s title was a bit of clickbait. The focus of the article was on the idolatry of the modern world, not abortion. And interesting read overall, though.
