Pope Francis allows chance of forgiveness to woman who have committed abortions for a limited time (Year of Mercy)

[AbbathTheGrim]

Pope Francis has authorized all Catholic priests around the World to forgive the "sin of abortion" during the church's "Year of Mercy."

Woman who have committed abortion are usually condemned as "moral evil" and are excommunicated and are only forgiven with the permission of a bishop.
