It is not his job to reform the hierarchy in Rome. Part of his job is, however, to forgive sins. Jesus gave Peter the power to forgive sins, Francis has Peter's job now.I don't think that's really the case. The vast majority of America doesn't like abortion. But, most of us are unwilling to say it should never be available in any instance. Pope Francis just said that if a woman regrets it, she should be forgiven. I'd guess most women who had abortions regretted it, but they probably accept it was the best option available at the time. He's just a human being. I don't think he'll have much luck in reforming the hierarchy in Rome.The left is fickle that way. They don't his stand on abortion either.For what it's worth, Pope Francis is criticized by the left for not doing more to oppose the Junta's execution of kids in Argentina's dirty war.
Yes of course
