The moral problem of abortion is of a pre religious nature because the genetic code is written in a person at the moment of conception. A human being is there. I separate the topic of abortion from any specifically religious notions. It is a scientific problem. Not to allow the further development of a being which already has all the genetic code of a human being is not ethical. The right to life is the first among human rights. To abort a child is to kill someone who cannot defend himself.
Pope FrancisWhen I confess a couple who have kids, a married couple, I ask, 'how many children do you have?' Some get worried and think the priest will ask why I don't have more. I would make a second question, 'Do you play with your children?' The majority say, 'but father, I have no time. I work all day.'
Pope FrancisThe only way to heal is to look at the Cross, to look at God Who takes upon Himself our sins: my sin is there.
Pope FrancisDear young people, do not be afraid of making decisive choices in life. Have faith; the Lord will not abandon you!
Pope Francis
