Archbishop Chaput of Denver recently urged a Catholic doctors' group to defend the sanctity of life. Some of his remarks appear below...
* "Every child with Down syndrome, every adult with special needs; in fact, every unwanted unborn child, every person who is poor, weak, abandoned or homeless – each one of these persons is an icon of God’s face and a vessel of his love. How we treat these persons – whether we revere them and welcome them, or throw them away in distaste – shows what we really believe about human dignity, both as individuals and as a nation."
* Catholics "cannot claim to love their Church, and then ignore her counsel on vital public issues that shape our nation’s life"
* The nature of today's marketing & entertainment leads to "a culture of fantasy, selfishness and illness that we’ve brought upon ourselves. And we’ve done it by misusing the freedom that other - and greater - generations than our own worked for, bled for and bequeathed to our safe-keeping."
