VATICAN, Feb 7, 2001 (LSN.ca) – In a meeting with the Bishops of Albania Saturday, Pope John Paul II urged the country’s religious leaders to combat abortion. “It is also indispensable … to fight against the grave evils which, unfortunately, afflict your country as well, such as abortion, prostitution, the spirit of vendetta, the exploitation of women, and violence. Do not tire of firmly raising your voice in defense of life from its conception,” he said.
