“I have been privileged now to have been with Pope Francis four times since he has been elected to the papacy, and I have been very encouraged by his approach to pro-life issues.
“I have had two conversations with him about the work we do at Priests for Life. Our executive director, Janet Morana, has also spoken with him about our work. On all these occasions, he could not have been more encouraging.”
In a recent commentary, Father Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life and pastoral director of Rachel’s Vineyard, reflected on the Pope’s putting the Church’s pro-life stance in context with all of the Church’s other teachings - “every teaching of the Church is to be understood in the context of all the other teachings and, indeed, of the entire history of the Church, which stands as a voice for all the oppressed and marginalized, including children still in the womb.”
