Another
bishop on record regarding the Planned Parenthood videos revealing the abortion provider's commodification of human beings.
Statement from Bishop Gerald Barbarito[Diocese of West Palm]:
Disturbing Investigative Videos at Planned Parenthood
The
investigative videos regarding Planned Parenthood's involvement in the
marketing of human organs and tissue obtained from aborted babies is
gravely disturbing and unsettling.
The matter emphasizes the truth of
Pope Francis' assertion that abortion is the product of a "throwaway
culture" and that, in his words, "Things have a price and can be sold,
but people have a dignity; they are worth far more than things and are
above price."
The horrifying videos are reason for all of us to renew
our commitment to the sanctity of life at every stage, especially within
our "throwaway culture."
We need to realize ever more fervently the
words of Pope Francis, that "Every child who, rather than being born, is
condemned unjustly to being aborted, bears the face of Jesus Christ,
bears the face of the Lord, who even before He was born, and then just
after birth, experienced the world's rejection." We
commit ourselves to, in the words of St. Pope John Paul II, "a culture
of life," and we reject "a culture of death," which frighteningly
continues to ferment in our society.
