My Kind of Priest!

"A human law can legalize abortion, but it will always remain an absolute immoral act. Neither the Catholic Church, nor the society in which women and men of good will actively participate, has been defeated by those who promote an unjust, irresponsible and criminal law that tries to terminate the life of innocent and defenseless beings in the maternal womb, beings who have the right to be born and to live their own life."

"The Church and civil society have not experienced a loss in the battle for human life that, in fact, has only just begun. The Church will not keep quiet. The Church has a prophetic duty to denounce sin, evil and injustice. … The Church has to warn of the fatal consequences of a perverse proceeding ruled by egotism and subjectivism that tries to disguise as a right what is in fact licentiousness. The law of God is clear when it categorically states: Do not kill!"

~Father Hugo Valdemar Romero, communications director for the Archdiocese of Mexico in The Church Has Not Been Defeated, March 21, 2007 in response to a proposed law that would allow abortion in the capital city area--Mexico City.
