A Vatican Cardinal has urged Catholics to stop funding Amnesty International, over the organisation’s stance on abortion, for victims of rape and incest and for women at risk.The Roman Catholic position is that life begins at conception.
While this may or may not be debatable, one must accept and respect the religious beliefs of everyone.
IF, however, the Vatican truly believes that the life of EVERY child is sacred, why doesn’t it also condemn the bombings of civilians in the many wars that are occurring, at this moment - or are unborn children more important than those who are already playing among us ?
Amnesty International is well known for its consistent advocacy of Human Rights and the Rule of Law.
Consistency in concern for all Human Life would be a welcome change in Vatican pronouncements.
