Why does the pope make it harder and harder to be Catholic?

Mariana Mazzucato, pro-abortion economist.

From the Catholic News Agency.

Pope Francis appoints pro-abortion economist to Pontifical Academy for Life.

One of the newest members of the Pontifical Academy for Life appointed by Pope Francis is an outspoken advocate of abortion rights, having recently shared her opposition to the overturning of Roe v. Wade on Twitter.

In his 2020 book “Let Us Dream: The Path to a Better Future,” Pope Francis described Mazzucato’s work as “thinking that is not ideological, which moves beyond the polarization of free market capitalism and state socialism, and which has at its heart a concern that all of humanity have access to land, lodging, and labor.”

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Second Edition.

It doesn’t get any clearer than that; there’s no wiggle room. So why does the grossly offensive opinion of an abortion enthusiast make her worthy in the Pope’s eyes of appointment to the Pontifical Academy for Life, who holds views so hideously contrary to the very name the institution itself?

One can only suppose Francis finds this woman’s views on matters such as land redistribution so eminently attractive he is willing to overlook the teensy-weensy matter of her hearty endorsement of the murdering of babies in and out of the womb.

God save our deeply troubled Holy Catholic Church. We certainly cannot look to the pontiff, who obviously has far more important things on his mind.

  1. Isn’t this new appointee also an atheist? The “ world” we live in is defined from top to bottom in all fields by atheists… didn’t used to be but now it is. No wonder it’s a mess. Once I discovered how deep the deception was in the field of science and medicine, I became much more amenable to the Biblical worldview and all it’s implications. The fury and scorn against the remarkable Intelligent Design research is so telling, ne’ est pas?

    1. One of the reasons this person ditched the Episcopal Church was its leadership’s embracing of abortion while simultaneously claiming to be a Christianbreligion, never mind “Thou shalt not kill,” or “commit murder.” There were a host of other reasons, of course, but abortion was perhaps the most blatant and hypocritical of Episcopal double standards.
