Were getting all comfy with the Pope, showering him with praise he goes and says something like this, his approval ratings gotta be falling.

VATICAN CITY, April 11, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Human life is “sacred and inviolable” and “every civil law is based on the recognition of the first and most fundamental right, the right to life,” Pope Francis told an Italian pro-life organization today.

The pope thanked the Movimento per la Vita, one of Italy’s leading political pro-life groups, for their work, urging them to continue “with courage and love” for life “in all its phases.”

“It is therefore necessary to reiterate the strongest opposition to any direct attack on life, especially innocent and defenseless, and her unborn child in the womb is the innocent par excellence,” the pope told the gathering of politicians and pro-life activists at the Vatican today.

I don't mind the kindly pope having his own opinion. I just don't want him using his religion to make rules for americans. I don't if the God almighty will reject the kindly pope but he probably will the sanctimonious 3020!

if your kids get the "opinion" that they would rather have you put to death, I will defend your right to stay alive, also.

Kudos to the Pope on this one.

When he starts pulling pedophile priests back to the Vatican and have his Swiss Guard throw them in a dungeon for the rest of their lives, THEN I will praise him!

Racking my noodle trying to understand what the connection might be of a moral/cultural issue to a discussion of economic systems? Do you find one position to be inherent in the other. Certainly there are plenty of pro life socialists as well as pro choice system capitalists.
