The Vatican’s Pontifical Academy for Life has a surprising number of pro-choice members. I guess one would be a surprising number but, as of last month, there are two.
The first, Nigel Biggar, was appointed in 2017. Biggar is a former Regius Professor at Oxford and an Anglican. Not only does he support the right to abort up to eighteen weeks: he also approves of same-sex marriage and defends euthanasia.
The second, Mariana Mazzucato, was appointed on October 15. Mazzucato is an Italian economist at the University of London and an atheist. In the months leading up to her appointment, she repeatedly denounced the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Mazzucato praised Ana Kasparian when the latter said, “I don’t care that you’re a Christian. I don’t care what the Bible says. I feel like it’s a clown show, sitting here trying to decipher what your little mythical book has to say about these very real political issues.”
Why Biggar was asked to join the Academy is anyone’s guess. (Cough cough.) Mazzucato’s appointment is less mysterious. Pope Francis is a big fan of her book The Value of Everything. “I see thinking that is not ideological,” the Holy Father said, “which moves beyond the polarization of free market capitalism and state socialism, and which has at its heart a concern that all of humanity have access to land, lodging, and labor.”
