From The Root:

The former pope (Ratzinger) had been in charge of the cover-ups division of the Vatican.

“If your core, central belief on which you base your entire life holds that any kind of interference with a pregnancy is equivalent to murder” . . . . then your core belief is insane.

Last, week, just before this latest accusation came out, I wrote to the radio station France Inter because they were heavily promoting his film and had an interview with Jean Dujardin about it - I told them it was shameful but never heard back.

Bernie should sit it out, while the Trump administration is supporting what is absolutely a coup? Nah.

Sounds like yet another reason why the US needs universal healthcare, with government run hospitals.

I’m betting this is the product of some idiot image consultant’s fever dream to appease multiple groups of imaginary people.
