Statement from Bishop David Zubik on the March for Life and Damage to a Pro-Life Memorial
-
January 20, 2023For all pro-life advocates, this is an important day as thousands and thousands gather in Washington D.C. to stand up for life. While there are significant differences of opinions in our world on right to life and many others, we should never let those differences lead us to disrespect each other.
Sadly, sometime overnight on January 18, 2023, someone spray painted a monument in support of unborn children. The memorial stone sits in front of Saint Rosalia Church. A pro-life billboard in the neighborhood was also vandalized.
Fr. Kris Stubna, pastor of Saint Paul Cathedral parish, alerted police to the destruction, and has been talking with parishioners who are upset.
We regret that people react in anger toward those of us who believe that unborn children have human rights, and we pray for them.
We have religious freedom and the right to express this important part of our Church teaching: the pro-life cause is about respecting every human being and celebrating their birth, even when they disagree with us.
Let us pray for more love and less hate.
