@The J.A.M. and others:This pope is FAR more pro-after-birth-life than others have been (or non-popes often are). I can understand a person who’s pro-life in the way this pope is; the pro-life-until-birth ones puzzle me.
Because birth control is antithetical to Gods plan for man. It I interferes w the natural order. It is Gods will and mans reproduction is part of it. Therefore to interfere is contrary basic Catholic doctrine.

That’s one reason why Liberal Americans™ don’t like him. He doesn’t like abortion.

“Pro-life” = “Pro-fetus”. Once they’re born, forget it.

…and I wonder why before England’s prince was born, no one called it “the royal fetus”….

I want a pope whom is pro-justice and won’t mind having an independent investigation at the Vatican bank.

Sadly, birth control often leads to abortion, especially when the birth control fails. Abortion is the ultimate form of Birth control.
Self-control should be the ultimate form, but that requires discipline, and maybe communication.

They also want a pope who is pro-death penalty and pro-war.

An’ the ones that left RC for the Episcopal faith are demanding a full recognition of the rights of women.
