The Pontifical Academy for Life has postponed its annual assembly, because at the moment the Academy has no members other than the new president, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia.
Last year Pope Francis appointed Archbishop Paglia, revised the statutes of the Vatican office, and purged the entire list of its members. Vatican journalist Sandro Magister remarks that the Academy now lists 172 “former” members, but no current members. New appointments are now being considered, he writes.
The annual meeting of the Pontifical Academy, ordinarily scheduled early in the year, has been moved until October 2017. The original plan for the annual assembly had been to focus on the Vatican instruction Donum Vitae, on artificial forms of reproduction. That topic has been discarded, and the new topic—“Accompanying Life: New responsibilities in the technological era”—provides few clues about the Academy’s priorities.

It appears the Pope maybe pro-abort, or at least sympathetic to the pro-choice crowd. The only answer is to return to the traditional Latin mass and a restoration of the pre- Vatican Council II Church. This is the course Pope Benedict was on prior to his ouster. SSPX is leading the way!
A surprise was that Pope Francisco did not create Paglia a Cardinal.
The Pontifical Academy for Life was created by St. John Paul and placed in charge of its first president Dr. Jerôme Lejeune, who had discovered that Down syndrome was caused by an extra chromosome. Lejeune was a holy Catholic and concerned about all the abortions his discoveries led to. Lejeune should be beatified; Benedict XVI prayed at hid tomb.
This Academy of one, one of the St. Egidio liberal movement to boot, might not be so much against abortion, infanticide and euthanasia. Like Pope Francisco said, Catholics should not breed like rabbits. Pray that Archbishop Paglia does not get elevated to Cardinal.
Do I need to go to confession for spreading scandal?
This article sounds true, and since you mentioned the archbishop’s name I think people might want to read and verify this:
