VATICAN, Dec.1, (LSN.ca/CWNews.com) At a Rome conference, U.S. Cardinal Bernard Law stated that Catholic laity must “not separate the Gospel from their daily life.” That separation is “a great menace” for contemporary society, Cardinal Law said; he cited the posture taken by lay Catholic politicians who claim to be “personally opposed” to abortion and yet vote to allow the procedure. This attitude, he said, advances the “culture of death,” which can only be overcome “by the unambiguous affirmation of the inviolability of every human life.”
Following the re-election in Canada of the strongly pro-abortion “Catholic” Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien and his many “Catholic” pro-abortion MPs, Canadian pro-life leaders are hoping that their church leaders will finally begin to forcefully send the same message to Canadian politicians.
