Archbishop Joseph Naumann
Last Sunday the four Catholic bishops of Kansas issued a statement about the murder of Dr. George Tiller:
“We, the four Catholic Bishops of the Dioceses of Kansas, unequivocally condemn the murder of Dr. George Tiller that occurred in Wichita earlier today. The Catholic Church believes that every human life is sacred. The murder of a human being is the gravest of crimes and is an intrinsic evil. Such an act of violence against human life is a contradiction of the most fundamental principle of the Pro-Life movement.”
On Thursday Archbishop’s Nauman’s column in The Leaven newspaper reiterated
… The pro-life movement is about saving lives, not taking them. It is about providing housing, medical care, educational opportunities and financial help to pregnant women who feel overwhelmed by the circumstances of their pregnancy. It is about providing counseling and support to those who have had an abortion and now deeply regret their past choices. It is about a profound respect for the law, as evidenced by many laboring arduously and perseveringly to reform our present public policy in order to restore legal protection for the lives of unborn children. It is about a belief in the sanctity of each and every human life. …
