POPE FRANCIS AND BONO HAVE 'A SORT OF CRUSH ON EACH OTHER'

Guess what? Pope Francis is 'aghast' at sex abuse in the Catholic Church.

So says Irish U2 rock star Bono, who was granted a private audience with the Pope last Wednesday.

Yes, the Irish have a sense of humour, but Bono really thought the Pope was 'sincere'. 

"We sort of have a crush on each other," said Bono. Isn't that cute?

And hey, they talked about "the wild beast that is capitalism". What does that tell us about the Pope's political agenda? 

And when Bono told Pope Francis that "in Ireland it looks as though the abusers are being more protected than the victims, you could see the pain in his face." 

We might suppose that the 'pain' was caused by feelings of guilt. Shouldn't the audience have been for victims of priestly sex abuse in his own former diocese in Argentina, whom the Pope's refused to see, rather than a rock star? 

Okay, so Bono was chumming up for an agreement between his education charity, ONE, and the Pope's version, Scholas. 

But let's not forget that Bono and U2 are famously (or should that be infamously?) pro-abortion, tweeting support for ending Ireland's pro-life Eighth Amendment and legalizing abortion in the Emerald Isle. 

And then there was 'pro-choice' Dutch former minister of development Lilianne Ploumen, who launched 'She Decides', a campaign promoting abortion, whom Pope Francis has made a Dame in the Pontifical Order of St Gregory the Great.

And Nigel Biggar, a philosopher appointed to the PONTIFICAL ACADEMY FOR LIFE who would 'be inclined to draw the line at 18 weeks' gestation'. Othewise for Biggar, an ANGLICAN MINISTER, abortion is fine.

What about Katarina Le Blanc, the eugenicist who experiments on unborn babies for a pro-abortion institute, also appointed to the Pontifical Academy for LIFE?

Two further appointees to the Pontifical Academy for LIFE oppose Catholic doctrine by their support for using multiple embryos for stem cell research. They are Shimya Yamanaka and Avraham Steinberg. Plus there's Father Maurizio Chiodi, who's all for contraception and EUTHANASIA BY STARVATION.

If you find this hard to believe, there's a pic online of Pope Francis, the Head of the Catholic Church, simpering at Ms Ploumen, who's a very busy abortion lobbyist. After a storm of protest the Vatican fell over itself explaining the honour was merely a matter of diplomacy and the Pope didn't know what she'd been up to. However, Vatican watchers say Francis just "flat out knows what's going on".

An outspoken American priest, Fr Peter West, says the Pope giving an award to a pro-abortionist is like Jesus bestowing an honour on Herod. "Jesus," says Fr West, dined with sinners and called them to conversion. He did not bestow public honours on them and affirm them in their sins."

BONO. LILIANNE PLOUMEN. KATARINA LE BLANC. SHIMYA YAMANAKA. AVRAHAM STEINBERG. FATHER CHIODI: a veritable Rogues' Gallery.

 

By their friends ye shall know them.
