DOES the Pope accept rape as God’s will?
After the vote in Ireland to legalise abortion, many anti abolitionists have commented and staged protests, etc, but the comment in news articles from the Pope “The Pope urged families to accept children as God gives them to us”, I can see as only driving a wedge between the Catholic Church and many younger people.
At no point is it right to use abortion as contraception, but can it possibly be God’s will that a woman is raped to conceive a child, bear it and raise it?
The Church already stands against sex before marriage and sex outside of marriage so how can it side on this?
