St. Joseph the Worker's care for the infant Jesus is the model for opponents of an abortion bill in Malawi.
Archbishop Thomas Luke Msusa of Blantyre praised St. Joseph's bravery in accepting responsibility to care for, defend, and protect the infant Christ from all harm.
The chairman of the Malawi bishops' conference spoke in Karonga Nov. 5 at the consecration of a cathedral named for St. Joseph the Worker, the Catholic News Agency for Africa reports.
Citing the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the archbishop said, "human life is sacred because from its beginning until end, no one can under any circumstance claim for himself the right directly to destroy an innocent human being."
