Archbishop Cordileone of San Francisco has become one of the staunchest advocates for the sanctity of life in the college of bishops. It is well worth reading his comments on a recent bill being advanced by the Democrat party in Congress to codify a so-called right to kill children in the womb into federal law (from the National Catholic Register).
He quotes Pope Francis’ recent comments during a return flight from Slovakia, during which the Holy Father said ‘Abortion is more than a problem. Abortion is homicide…. It is a human life, period. And this human life must be respected.”
