5 CARDINALS, 36 BISHOPS, 300 PRIESTS AND 7000 FAITHFUL AT PRO-LIFE MASS

WASHINGTON, January 23, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Cardinal Anthony J. Bevilacqua of Philadelphia, head of the U.S. Bishops' Pro-Life arm, celebrated the Mass during the National Prayer Vigil for Life at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington on January 21. 7000 faithful joined the 5 cardinals, 36 bishops and archbishops and over 300 priests for the service.

"We can celebrate that after 30 years those who defend abortion finally realize that we who defend life will continue day after day, year after year, to testify publicly on behalf of the unborn and that we promise that we will not stop until every child in the womb has the legally protected right to be born," he said.
