CWN Editor's Note: Lilliane Ploumen, a former Dutch cabinet minister who heads the international pro-abortion group “She Decides,” has received a papal honor as Commander of the Order of St. Gregory. In a In a Dutch radio interview, Ploumen said that although her abortion advocacy was not mentioned in the papal commendation, “that does not stop me from being awarded this prize.” She added that she has developed “a lot of contacts” in the Vatican recently, which “especially under the previous popes, had a pretty rigid attitude when it came to the rights of women and girls.”

I wonder what st Gregory would say to a decision to kill your offspring! And the right to do it. And then a commendation from the pope to a woman very few would have ever heard of except for him bringing hr into view. We need to pray for this man and this woman!

Is this the Pope or the smoke doing these things? How is this even remotely possible? Pope Francis is almost as puzzling as Trump. I’d really like to get off at the next stop and recalibrate in Eucharistic Adoration. Maybe God will provide an answer?
