Seriously?

WTH has happened to the Catholic church?


quote:

Pope Francis has conferred the title of “Commander of the Pontifical Equestrian Order of St. Gregory the Great” on Lilianne Ploumen, a Dutch politician and vocal agitator for abortion rights.
Last year, Ploumen founded a pro-abortion organization called She Decides, which offers funding and support for international NGOs that provide, facilitate or campaign for abortion.
In an email to the Catholic Herald, Ms. Ploumen said that she was “very honoured” by the pontifical medal, which was sent via the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs last month.
In an interview with Dutch radio, Ploumen said she views the honor as a sign of the pope’s progressivism, as well as acknowledgement for her work in supporting abortion rights.
Ms. Ploumen said that the award came after much personal investment in contacts with the Vatican, which she defined as “lobbying.”

While I'm happy to bash Catholicism, you could ask the same of mainline protestants.

I'm fine with it. Proves Protestants have a legitimate reason to gripe about the office of the Pope.

I don't think this Pope is going to Heaven when he dies.

“The honor of the Pontifical Order of St. Gregory the Great received by Mrs. Lilianne Ploumen, former Minister of Development, in June 2017 during the visit of the Dutch Royals to the Holy Father, responds to the diplomatic practice of the exchange of honors between delegations on the occasion of official visits by Heads of State or Government in the Vatican,” García said. “Therefore, it is not in the slightest a placet [a mark of approval] to the politics in favor of abortion and of birth control that Mrs. Ploumen promotes,” she added.


Sounds like granting this award is no different than 2 military officers from 2 different countries exchanging unit badges.

This has to be fake news. Catholic priests can’t molest kids if they get aborted that’s why they are anti abortion

Very true, but I'm talking about the office, itself, not just the current occupant

Any Catholic who remains silent is a cuck. You must leave your church or force your church to leave Roman Catholicism or else you are not #MAGA

This isn't anything new right? Last I checked they've always been a little (lot) rapey and murdery.

Now they're just embracing it publicly.

This Pope.......

If I were Catholic I'd readily turn in my card. Disgraceful! Let's see how many members they lose now.

It was taken over by Jesuits who are originally secret Jew infiltrators. Someone who was never a priest or bishop should not be pope.
