PARIS, Apr 11, 2001 (LSN.ca) - Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine for the Faith, delivered a Lenten address at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. Zenit News reports that in his sermon that dealt with the topic of hell, the Cardinal said that fetal experimentation leads to hell.
“When, as today, there is a market in human organs, when fetuses are produced to make spare organs available, or to make progress in research and preventive medicine, many regard the human content of these practices as implicit. But the contempt for man that underlies it, when man is used and abused, leads—like it or not—to a descent into hell,” he said. The text of his address was published in the French Catholic newspaper La Croix.
