Cultivating a Culture a Life

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, defend the rights of the poor and needy." Proverbs 31:8-9

It is vital for Catholic leaders to cultivate a culture a life by educating the faithful on the issues facing us today. On the current controversial issue of healthcare reform, Catholic Bishops have stated that we are called to protect the most vulnerable in our society - the unborn, the poor, and the elderly.

In Pope Benedict's XVI latest encyclical, Caritas in Veritate (Truth in Charity), released on July 7, 2009, he warns us of the danger the world will face if we do not take action to cultivate a culture of life:

"If there is a lack of respect for the right to life and to a natural death, if human conception, gestation and birth are made artificial, if human embryos are sacrificed to research, the conscience of society ends up losing the concept of human ecology and, along with it, that of environmental ecology. It is contradictory to insist that future generations respect the natural environment when our educational systems and laws do not help them to respect themselves." -Pope Benedict XVI, Caritas in Veritate

Catholic and Pro-Life Leaders: Please consider hosting one of these courageous and dynamic Pro-Life speakers for your next event, to educate and inspire the faithful to take action on this most important issue facing us all today - the God-given gift and right to Life in all of its stages.
