Pro-Life
Q: What does Pro-Life mean?
A:
Pro-Life means favoring and supporting all of the forces, methods, individuals, institutions, etc. that promote LIFE, and vehemently opposing all that attempts to destroy life, i.e., Pro-Death.We live in a Pro-Death culture. The Pro-Life position is inherently in direct opposition to "whatever is opposed to life itself, such as any type of murder, genocide, abortion, euthanasia or wilful self-destruction, whatever violates the integrity of the human person, such as mutilation, torments inflicted on body or mind, attempts to coerce the will itself; whatever insults human dignity, such as subhuman living conditions, arbitrary imprisonment, deportation, slavery, prostitution, the selling of women and children; as well as disgraceful working conditions, where men are treated as mere tools for profit, rather than as free and responsible persons; all these things and others of their like are infamies indeed. They poison human society, but they do more harm to those who practice them than those who suffer from the injury. Moreover, they are supreme dishonor to the Creator." (Pastoral Constitution "Gaudium Et Spes")
Q: What can be done to battle the forces of Pro-Death?A:The principal means of overcoming the Pro-Death "Zeitgeist" is prayer, in particular, the Rosary. |
