Hot Tea: Pope Francis Oks Catholic Priests Forgiveness of Abortion

As part of moves to make The Church more open and inclusive, Pope Francis has granted all Catholic Priests the right to forgive women who have had abortion(s). He will give the priests the discretion during the Roman Catholic Church's upcoming Holy Year. 




His decision was revealed in a letter published by the Vatican. There, Pope Francis described the 'existential and moral ideal' faced by women who have terminated pregnancies.

He said priests should use words of genuine welcome but ensure those involved were aware of the gravity of the sin committed.

In the Catholic Church, abortion is a grave sin that those who perform it incur an automatic excommunication. It can only be forgiven by the chief confessor i.e Archbishop of the diocese.

She cares about you, supports you, encourages you, is never quick to judge you, listens to you and advises you. She knows your greatest fear is failure, failure of not being the best boyfriend or potential best husband and father, successful at work and everything in between. So she definitely understands you need to give work attention. When you get too attentive to your job than you should to her, she knows how to get that attention back on her subtly. She's good all by herself, she's an asset! She's no idler, maybe a career woman, maybe not. She certainly won't suck up to you for everything because she's holding it down on her own. In the midst of this, she's very homely and understands the concept of a marri...
