Cardinal tells pro-life directors that culture of life is starting to pr evail in society

By Mary Ann Wyand right makes a mockery of the Constitution of our coun- Someday, the nation will turn away from killing as try.” punishment for capital crimes, he said, provide love, care ST. LOUIS—Working together to change minds, Cardinal Keeler said the Unborn Victims of Violence and compassion for those who are dying, and reject hearts and laws to end the culture of death in society, Act, recently signed into law, and a decrease in the num- euthanasia and assisted suicide. more than 100 diocesan pro-life directors, state Catholic ber of abortions each year are strong indications that the “The road is steep,” the cardinal said. “The issues are Conference directors and other pro-life ministry directors culture of death will be defeated someday. many. But we will persevere. We who labor in the pro-life met on Aug. 5-7 at a hotel near the St. Louis Arch for “It’s a fact that the number of abortions in the United vineyard are witnesses to the truth. We witness every day educational presentations on a variety of pro-life issues. States has been declining for over a decade,” he said. “In to the sacredness and the dignity of each and every The conference was sponsored by the U.S. Conference 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court said in Roe vs. Wade that it human being in every circumstance and every condition.” of Catholic Bishops’ Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities. did not know when human life begins. Today, there are Pro-life supporters witness to the reality that “unborn In his keynote address, Cardinal William H.

Some of them see human life as disposable because in a way they see it as less than perfect because it can be used to further medical sciences. They insist that their world- view is one that all reasonable people share, and that it is the inevitable wave of the future. Our business is to make sure that that view does not prevail.” Roe vs. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision legal- izing abortion during all nine months of pregnancy, set in motion a chain of events that caused many people to dis- regard the dignity of every human life, he said, and to show contempt for its sacredness. “Today, for example, we’re in the midst of a strong and heavily funded campaign to create human lives solely to destroy them for their stem cells,” the cardinal said. “Report after report attests to the promise of adult stem cells to cure disease, but lobbyists and many politicians are clamoring for the funding of embryonic stem cell research, and it even happened at a political convention very recently.” The Catholic Church and its pro-life ministries are under attack, he said, by people and organizations work- ing to expand the culture of death in society. “Abortion advocates are trying mightily to force Catholic employers that provide prescription drug cover- age to employees to include coverage for contraceptives despite our moral opposition,” Cardinal Keeler said. “National coalitions have been formed to reverse even the conscience clauses that protect our [Catholic] healthcare institutions from being pressured to perform abortions.” Socially acceptable reasons for creating and destroying human life seem to evolve rapidly, the cardinal said, cit- ing Planned Parenthood’s new T-shirts that proclaim “I had an abortion.” Pope John Paul II spoke recently about “our responsi- bility to care for and to feed our brothers and sisters who are in a vegetative state,” Cardinal Keeler said. “He reminded us that their lives are no less sacred than any- one else’s, and they need our help to survive. But, mean- while, our world is clamoring for the withdrawal of food and water from patients such as these on the grounds that they do not have meaningful lives and that providing nutrition and hydration expends resources on patients who cannot respond to our love and to our concern.” The good news, he said, is that “because of your wit- ness and hard work, young people are flocking to the pro- life movement. They see the truth about human life and they want to be involved in protecting life.” In January, he said, the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., was filled to overflowing for the National Prayer Vigil for Life and many of the participants were teenagers. The following day, he said, before the annual March for Life, 20,000 young people attended a Mass and pro- life rally at the Convention Center in Washington. “It was exciting,” Cardinal Keeler said. “It was one of the most hopeful, upbeat moments that I have seen in the life of the Church in recent years. Everybody wanted to be in the front line to help to win the battle for hearts and minds. When the rally was over, they took their youthful energy to the march, and it was as heartwarming as it was impressive.” The cardinal also praised seminarians who are eager to preach the Gospel of Life as priests. “Our young seminarians are on fire to preach the mes- sage of the Gospel of Life,” he said. “That’s true across the board at seminaries. It is such a joy to talk with the seminarians and see how full of energy for life they are.” The almost decade-old public debate about partial- birth abortion has educated people about this horrific practice, he said, and “brought to everyone’s attention that abortion involves the purposeful and violent destruc- tion of human life before birth.” We don’t know when abortion will end, he said, but the partial-birth abortion debate has had and continues to have an impact in every state because of the “most aston- ishingly frank testimony of abortion doctors, who explain to the courts what exactly they do when they perform par- tial-birth abortions. For courts to say that this violent and cruel method of killing is a fundamental constitutional Page 18 The Criterion Friday, August 20, 2004
