There are more dead for abortion than for wars, Bishop denounces

The Bishop of Córdoba (Spain), Mons. Demetrio Fernández, warned, facing the day for the life of April 8, that “in the entire world, there are more dead by abortion than for war, which is horrible to us.”

In Your letter Disusted on March 20, the prelate pointed out that “yes to life finds today pitfalls to save, as is the claim of the right to decide the killing of that life, if it is not pleasant.”

At the same time, he denounced that “abortion has been generalized in Spain, so that there are more than two and a half million children who have been aborted since the abortion law was approved in 1985”. “A catastrophe for the Spanish population, who suffers from birth of birth,” he said.

Another challenge regarding the right to life, refers to the elderly and “the terminal people”, and who “deserve palliative care and do not find them.” In this regard, Mons. Fernández denounces that “euthanasia is not a solution, nor assisted suicide.”

“The person who is well attended does not want to die. Who wants to die is because he has been ruled out for a long time for those who should take care of it,” he added.

In reference to the party of announcement and incarnation, the prelate urged to go to the Virgin Mary as “Protector in the critical moments of history”, remembering that “we are in a change of time, with multiple threats.”

When referring to this celebration, Mons. Fernández recalled the anecdote starring San Juan de Ávila, who asked: “Do you know the news?” The patron saint of the Spanish presbyter, replied: “That the verb has become flesh.” On that basis, the Bishop of Córdoba adds that “that is the only news that illuminates all others.”
