Quick, someone get the smelling salts for Mark Shea. Pope Francis sent out a message of support for the March for Life:
His Holiness Pope Francis sends warm greetings and the assurance of his closeness in prayer to the many thousands of young people from throughout America gathered in the Archdiocese of Washington and the Diocese of Arlington for the annual March for Life. His Holiness is profoundly grateful for this impressive testimony to the sacredness of every human life. As he has made clear, “so great is the value of a human life, and so inalienable the right to life of an innocent child growing in the mother’s womb, that no alleged right… can justify a decision to terminate that life” (Amoris Laetitia, 83). He trusts that this event, in which so many American citizens speak out on behalf of the most defenseless of our brothers and sisters, will contribute to a mobilization of conscience in defense of the right to life and effective measures to ensure its adequate legal protection. To all present the Holy Father cordially imparts his Apostolic Blessing as a pledge of strength and peace in the Lord.
Cardinal Pietro Parolin
Secretary of State
Bravo Pope Francis!
Well, there was a quote, a lovely one, from A.L, so perhaps the salts need not be to strong.

One requirement of ambiguity as a technique is that both feet must be firmly planted in contradictory positions on at least a few occasions.
Well he and Deacon Steven Greydanus talked about it apparently. Anybody listen to it?

Ditto “Bravo Pope Francis”! On the subject of life Charles Krautheimer, when asked what were the high and low points of last week, stated (here I paraphrase) that the high was VP Pense speaking to the Marchers For Life and the low the creation of a test tube pig and human hybrid; a danger for the whole human race. I am waiting to read the commentary from the pope and the USCCB. This seems to be a crime against the Creator God the Father. Created to grow human organs for transplanting into human beings, does the end justify the means? The answer should be NO!
