"Too many social trends treat the human person as nothing sacred, but Catholic pro-life efforts are part of an effort to change that, Los Angeles' Archbishop Jose Gomez said last Wednesday.
"'Everything we do is rooted in the truth of the Gospel. The beautiful truth that every human life matters - because every human life is sacred and created by the loving plan of God,' the archbishop said in his keynote speech at the National Diocesan Pro-Life Leadership Conference in Kansas City, Kansas.
"'We are living in a culture that is deeply confused and conflicted about the meaning of creation and the meaning of human life,' he said July 29. 'And so we find ourselves more and more indifferent to the cruelty and injustice that we see all around us.'"
In his address, Archbishop Gomez reflected on the value of human life as perceived by American culture and on the importance of Christians working to change and convert this culture.
