BY LifeSiteNews.com By John-Henry WestenKONIGSTEIN, Germany, June 29, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Chairman of Slovakia’s Bishops’ Conference gave a talk at Aid to the Church in Need headquarters in Germany Tuesday saying that the defence of Gospel values against an increasing influence of Western Liberalism is “a major task of the Church.”Bishop Frantisek Tondra of Spis in East Slovakia, explained: “Liberalism is predominant in Slovakia’s mass media, thus infiltrating and subverting Christian values, family values and the values of life in the public opinion. This happens in particular via private TV and several of the most widespread newspapers.”The Bishop also spoke of anti-life pressures from the European Union on Slovakia. Assessing Slovakia’s membership in the European Union (EU), Bishop Tondra said: “In principle, this is a good thing. Liberal circles, however, are pushing the state to legalize euthanasia or homosexual civil unions - under the pretext of compliance with EU regulations.”(with files from Aid to the Church in Need) http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/head-slovak-bishop-fighting-western-liberalism-is-a-major-task-of-the-churc/
