Pope Francis has doubled down on his traditional views on abortion and women during his in-flight press conference coming home from Belgium.

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) — Pope Francis wrapped up a troubled visit to Belgium on Sunday by doubling down on his traditional views on women and abortion and demanding that Catholic bishops stop covering up for predator priests — a scandal that has devastated the church’s credibility around the globe.

Francis revisited the key thorny topics of his trip to Belgium during his in-flight press conference coming home, praising Belgium’s late King Baudouin as a “saint” for having abdicated for a day in 1990 rather than sign legislation legalizing abortion.

    “Doctors who do this are – allow me the word – hitmen. They are hitmen,” Francis said. “And on this you cannot argue. You are killing a human life.”

    Fuck you, Francis; you’re the head of a cult that systemically covers up its own child rape and sits on tens of billions of dollars while people around the world starve to death. Paying lip service to your own victims doesn’t do shit, you old creep.
