“The Pope’s words are unacceptable, we have no lesson to receive.” Responding to a question in the Chamber, the Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, according to what we read in “Le Soir”, thus commented on the words of the Pope, who said that abortion is a “murder” and the doctors who provide in practice they are “hitmen”, on the return flight from Belgium last Sunday, referring to King Baudouin of Belgium, anti-abortion, for whom he announced that he will proceed with the cause of beatification
De Croo also announced that he will summon the apostolic nuncio to “discuss” the issue: “My message to the apostolic nuncio will be clear: what happened is unacceptable.”
What the Pope said
“Women have the right to life: to their life, to the life of their children. Let’s not forget to say this: an abortion is murder. Science tells you that in the month of conception all the organs are already there… A human being is killed And the doctors who do this are, allow me the word, hitmen. And there is no arguing about this. And women have the right to protect life.” Pope returning from Belgium last week.
Referring to King Baldwin of Belgium, anti-abortion, for whom he announced that the cause of beatification will proceed, Francis said: “The king was courageous because faced with a law of death, he did not sign and resigned It takes courage, doesn’t it? It takes a politician ‘with trousers’ to do this. He also gave a message with this and he also did it because he was a saint the beatification process will continue, because he has given me proof of this.”
