Is the Catholic church aware enough to hear this wake-up call?

Pope Francis is but, as with John XXIII, he may not wake up one morning.

Great news. Next...repeal of the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act. I believe the Irish government can still refuse to let a pregnant woman out of the country if they suspect she is seeking an abortion.

Uh...sorry Colleen, you're not going anywhere until after the baby is born.
