So what? The Catholic religion was founded on certain basic values and beliefs. A lot of these beliefs come from their version of the Bible. I'm a Protestant, but I know that the Catholic Bible is not so different from my own. And, in Leviticus, the Lord your God commands a man to "not lie with another man". The female clergy issue is another issue entirely. In my reading of the Bible, a woman must only submit herself to her husband. I guess Catholics imply this to mean they may not hold any office? In a Christian's viewpoint, God has a path for every living being. Abortion is a means of human interference with God's divine path. You are free to hold whatever beliefs you choose, but this pope is not going against anything written in his own religion.
