The Catholic Church is about to open a time window to restore the dignity of people who have had abortions and have, thus, "damaged society."
Quote:Bishop: Jubilee Year gives new hope for healing from abortion
“As we prayerfully continue the essential work of restoring full legal protection of all preborn children and supporting parents facing difficult pregnancies, we also recognize our need for asking forgiveness and healing from the Lord for when we have given in to the culture of death,” said Bishop Thomas in a statement released by the USCCB Jan. 13.
The Catholic Church teaches that “human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception,” and that abortion “willed as either an end or means is gravely contrary to the moral law.”
Bishop Thomas said those who have been involved in abortion — which “inflicts deep and lasting wounds on society” and “more directly on individuals and families” — should recall that “no sin is beyond” the Lord’s “unfathomable mercy.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
