Cordoba, Spain, May 17, 2013 / 11:02 am
Bishop Demetrio Fernandez of Cordoba, Spain, is calling on the faithful not to remain silent about the genocide of abortion and to work for "policies inspired in the culture of life."
"The hundreds of thousands – more than a million – abortions that have taken place in recent years constitute the slow suicide of nation that is incapable to transmitting life to the next generation," he warned.
In his latest pastoral letter, Bishop Fernandez said the defense of life from the moment of conception is not a religious matter, but is "above all a human matter."
"The light of God makes us see more clearly that which simply human reason can perceive, if it is not obscured by selfish interests," he explained.
