CATHOLIC ORTHODOXY: ANTIDOTE AGAINST THE CULTURE OF DEATH

It is clear that we are presently experiencing a period of intense and critical struggle in the advancement of the culture of life in the world. Many governments and international organizations openly and aggressively follow a secularist, anti-life and anti-family agenda. Even though religious language may be used and the name of God invoked, programs and policies are proposed for the people without respect for God and His Law, in the words of the Venerable Pope John Paul II, as if God did not exist (Pope John Paul II, Post-synodal Apostolic Exhortation Christifideles laici, On the Vocation and the Mission of the Lay Faithful in the Church and in the World, 30 December 1988, no. 34).

Now more than ever, the world needs the consistent witness to the truth, expressed in the Sacred Scriptures and in Tradition, which is the condition of the possibility of a culture which respects fully the gift of human life and its origin in procreation, that is, in the cooperation of man and woman with God through the conjugal union and through education in the home which they have formed by marriage.
