The president of Human Life International, the world’s largest pro-life organization, has agreed to be the spiritual director of Children of God for Life, which fights for ethical alternatives to aborted fetal vaccines.

Fr. Thomas Euteneuer succeeds Fr. Anthony Zimmerman, a retired professor of moral theology, who died May 19.

Over the years, Frs. Euteneuer and Zimmerman helped the pro-life group with its Campaign for Ethical Vaccines.

In fact, in 2003 and 2004, Fr. Euteneuer successfully maneuvered a shareholder resolution to expose pharmaceutical giant Merck’s unethical practices regarding vaccines. He describes Children of God for Life as “a necessary prophetic voice for conscience on many of the intricate moral issues of our day.”
