Great God, why is everyone so anxious to forgive?  Let God take care of that.
Until then I'd like to see a little more justice, complete with punishment.

Jesus does call us to forgive, but only if the person repents.

Forgiveness is not for the benefit of the forgiven, like funerals are not for the benefit of the corpse.

I want to make clear if anybody is still reading this thread, that any Catholic priest, anywhere, can absolve the sin of procuring an abortion.  This sin is NOT reserved to the Pope or to the local bishop.
