Pueblo, Colo., Jan 26, 2010 / 01:02 am
The new bishop of Pueblo, Colorado has warned of the “lingering wounds” of abortion and said the prayers and efforts of those who oppose it are making a difference.
Bishop Fernando Isern’s remarks came in his homily at a noon Mass in Pueblo’s Cathedral of the Sacred Heart on Friday, the 37th anniversary of the pro-abortion Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade.
He noted that though the earthquake in Haiti has killed an estimated 200,000 people, abortion has killed almost 25 times that number in the U.S.
“In the years since, 50 million lives have been lost,” he said, according to the Pueblo Chieftain.
