Recife, Brazil, Dec 11, 2009 / 14:18 pm
Archbishop Emeritus Jose Cardoso Sobrinho of Olinda y Recife, who tried to defend and protect a nine year-old girl before she underwent a court-ordered abortion, remarked that pro-abortion politicians and candidates cannot represent honest citizens.
The archbishop, who publicly defended the young girl who was pregnant with twins and tried to keep her from undergoing an illegal abortion in March of 2009, made his statements in a letter to the author of the “Catechism Against Abortion,” Father David Francisquini.
Archbishop Sobrinho told the author that he hoped “many other voices would join his in courageously proclaiming that the Law of God is above any human law.”
In response to abortions occurring in Brazil and around the world, the archbishop noted that “the silence of so many people is extremely worrisome, especially by those who are in public office.”
