I recently
wrote about the need to defend life, in addition to “acknowledging” the pro-life
position. A fellow Canadian pro-lifer from Ottawa area shares
the same message:
The bishops are obligated to OBEY the directives of the Popes on
abortion because what they are commanding is for the leaders of the Catholic
Church to defend LIFE, lives of the unborn against abortion.
Pope John Paul II’s Encyclical Letter,
’The Gospel of Life’ is very clear on the ‘obedience’ of leaders in this
regard. John Paul said: “It is precisely from obedience to God–to whom alone is
due that fear which is acknowledgment of his absolute sovereignty–that the
strength and the courage to resist unjust human laws are born. It is the
strength and courage of those prepared even to be imprisoned or put to the
sword, in the certainty that this is what makes the endurance and faith of the
saints. (Rev 13:10) (#73)
