-- In a February 8 interview with one of Italy’s most prominent
dailies, Corriere Della Serra, <span style="background-color:rgb(234,209,220)"><b>Pope Francis praised Italy’s leading
proponent of abortion – Emma Bonino -- as one of the nation’s “forgotten
greats,”</b></span> comparing her to great historical figures such as Konrad
Adenauer and Robert Schuman. Knowing that his praise of her may be
controversial, the Pope said that she offered the best advice to Italy
on learning about Africa, and admitted she thinks differently from us.

Volonte, an Italian politician and the president of the pro-life Novae
Terrae Foundation, told LifeSiteNews he believed the Pope “was not
really informed about how much Mrs. Bonino has done in Italy and at the
international level to promote abortion and euthanasia.” Even though he
admits “she did well in Egypt,” he adds that even there “she promoted
her anti-life values.” The Pope, said Volonte, “was wrong and worse
were the members of His secretariat for not informing him.”</span></p>
