If the Pope can honour a pro-abortion activist, why not bless Durex?

by Archbishop Cranmer:

It is being widely reported that Pope Francis has bestowed the title of Commander in the Pontifical Equestrian Order of St. Gregory the Great upon pro-abortion activist Lilianne Ploumen, sometime Trade and Development Minister in the Netherlands. The reporting of this honour is now so widespread that it is more incredible to think this is an example of #FakeNews than to doubt the occasion of the investiture: it really does seem that the Vicar of Christ and supposed apostolic successor to Saint Peter, to whom Jesus is said to have given the Keys of Heaven, has bestowed a papal honour upon a devout advocate of abortion “in recognition of (her) personal service to the Holy See and to the Roman Catholic Church, through (her) unusual labors, (her) support of the Holy See, and (her) excellent examples set forth in (her) community and (her) country”.

Unusual labours they may certainly be, but in what sense is Lilianne Plouman an excellent example to the faithful?

According to the website One Peter 5 (“Rebuilding Catholic Culture. Restoring Catholic Tradition”), Lilianne Plouman is not merely a pro-abortion activist, but a rather militant anti-Catholic who appears to have abandoned all pretence at adherence to papal moral teaching – infallible dogma, definitive doctrine and prudential judgments – in the areas of gender, sexuality and procreation. When President Trump signed an executive order barring US aid to those countries which provide abortion counselling as part of family planning, Lilianne Plouman established ‘She Decides’, which has raised $300million “to continue support for existing programs being run by organizations such as the United Nations Population Fund (UNPFA), the International Planned Parenthood Federation and Marie Stopes International.” She said, “These are successful and effective programs: direct support, distributing condoms, making sure women are accompanied at the birth, and making sure abortion is safe if they have no other choice.”
