MSNBC bungles pope’s abortion message

Published September 2, 2015 4:01am ET

In a letter to Archbishop Rino Fisichella, Francis said it is his hope for the upcoming Holy Year of Mercy, a jubilee year for the Roman Catholic Church running from Dec. 8, 2015, to Nov. 20, 2016, that those who have either procured or participated in an abortion will hear and respond to Christ’s message of forgiveness.
