Pope Francis Extends Catholic Priests' Power to Forgive Abortion

Pope Francis has given all Roman Catholic priests an indefinite extension on their power to forgive abortion.

Francis, who has made a more inclusive and forgiving Roman Catholic Church a characteristic of his papacy, made the announcement in a document known as an "apostolic letter" after the Church's "Holy Year of Mercy" ended Sunday.

He said he wanted to "restate as firmly as I can that abortion is a grave sin, since it puts an end to an innocent life" but "there is no sin that God's mercy cannot reach and wipe away when it finds a repentant heart seeking to be reconciled with (God)".

That's what I'd call a false teaching ---- ONLY GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST forgives sins.
