.- During
a recent homily, Bishop Luis T. Stockler of Quilmes, Argentina,
lamented that “the experiments that were done secretly at the Nazi
concentration camps, in the name of the so-called Arian race, are today
done out in the open in the name of science and with the consent of
lawmakers.”
Referring to the
value of human life from the moment of conception, the bishop
underscored the heritage that the Judeo-Christian faith passed on to
humanity, because “there is no other religion that gives such value to
each person.”
During his
homily, Bishop Stockler emphasized the fact that humans are not “a mass
of organized molecules that disintegrate at death in order to be
absorbed into the universal energy to recycle nature’s
metabolism.”
Instead, he said
that “The dignity of the human person lies in that we were created in
the image and likeness of God and it is for this reason that human life
is inviolable.”
“That is the
reason why the Church is so inflexible when it comes to defending human
life. It’s not stubbornness, but rather the consequence of our
faith,” he added.
“The one who in
the name of Jesus Christ believes in the Father as Creator does not put
himself in His place in order to intervene in or fabricate human life
according to his own view. Today, genetic engineering dares to
manipulate human life and judge it in its prenatal state as undesirable
in order to eliminate it,” the bishop stated.
