There is human life. Is it right to eliminate human life?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pope Francis asked this rhetorical question during an interview with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.univision.com\/shows\/noticiero-univision\/el-papa-habla-en-exclusiva-con-univision-de-los-rumores-de-su-renuncia-y-el-aborto-no-siento-que-el-senor-me-lo-pida-video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mexican television network Televisa Univision<\/a> on 11 July. Obviously, the answer is &#8220;no,&#8221; and the rhetoric used by the Pontiff is reminiscent of his famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vatican.va\/content\/francesco\/it\/speeches\/2019\/may\/documents\/papa-francesco_20190525_yes-to-life.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">release from May 25, 2019<\/a>: &#8220;[I]s it licit to hire a killer to resolve a problem? I leave the answer to you. This is the point. Don\u2019t blame religion for a human issue. It is not licit. Never, never eliminate a human life or hire a killer to solve a problem.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This infallible magisterium\u2012for Catholics it is the subject matter (doctrine and morals) that makes the infallibility of a Pope, certainly not the medium (the TV, an interview) or the style (luckily, each of us has its own)\u2012on such a serious matter, is truly historic in scope. It in facts responds directly to the arrogance with which Joe Biden, president of the most important country in the world and a Catholic, makes abortion the guiding star of his mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Biden, a Catholic and pro-abortionist, should talk &#8220;of this inconsistency&#8221; to his &#8220;pastor, parish priest, or bishop,&#8221; the Pontiff says in the interview, going from doctrinal infallibility to prudential advice (and this advice Catholics must strongly consider too, since Catholics should always keep in high consideration even a post-it note from a Pope).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any other comment here would be inappropriate. Or prissy. Or mannerism. Or egotistic. Except reminding all those Catholics all over the world, who have long been applauding Biden to brush up well on the Pontiff&#8217;s infallible magisterium on life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let all those Catholics who have long been peeling their hands for Biden, in every corner of the globe, now brush up on Pope Francis&#8217; infallible magisterium on life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":152807,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"subtitle":"Let all those Catholics who have long been peeling their hands for Biden, in every corner of the globe, now brush up on Pope Francis' infallible magisterium on life.","format":"standard","video":"","gallery":"","source_name":"","source_url":"","via_name":"","via_url":"","override":[{"template":"1","single_blog_custom":"","parallax":"1","fullscreen":"1","layout":"right-sidebar","sidebar":"default-sidebar","second_sidebar":"default-sidebar","sticky_sidebar":"1","share_position":"top","share_float_style":"share-monocrhome","show_share_counter":"1","show_view_counter":"1","show_featured":"1","show_post_meta":"1","show_post_author":"1","show_post_author_image":"1","show_post_date":"1","post_date_format":"default","post_date_format_custom":"Y\/m\/d","show_post_category":"1","post_reading_time_wpm":"300","zoom_button_out_step":"2","zoom_button_in_step":"3","show_post_tag":"1","show_prev_next_post":"1","show_popup_post":"1","number_popup_post":"1"}],"image_override":[{"single_post_thumbnail_size":"crop-500","single_post_gallery_size":"crop-500"}],"trending_post_position":"meta","trending_post_label":"Trending","sponsored_post_label":"Sponsored by","sponsored_post_name":"","sponsored_post_url":"","sponsored_post_logo":"","sponsored_post_desc":""},"jnews_primary_category":{"id":"808"},"jnews_social_meta":{"fb_title":"","fb_description":"","fb_image":"","twitter_title":"","twitter_description":"","twitter_image":""},"jnews_override_counter":{"view_counter_number":"0","share_counter_number":"0","like_counter_number":"0","dislike_counter_number":"0"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[805,808,695],"tags":[475,720,19596,5213,6315,648],"class_list":["post-152853","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-foreground","category-life","category-opinion","tag-abortion","tag-catholic-church","tag-catholic-doctrine","tag-joe-biden-3","tag-pope-francis","tag-usa"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
