Is a view on abortion solely a question of religious
belief?
The right to life is
not just a question of religious belief. As the first and fundamental human
right, it affect people of all faiths and none. You do
not have to be from any particular faith tradition to agree that human life
should be protected and that intentionally ending the life of another human is
never justified. Supporting and sustaining a culture of life is in the interest
of every citizen. Catholics and all people of good will because it defines us
as a society.
Article 40.3.3 of the Irish Constitution:
The state
acknowledges the right to life of the unborn and with due regard to the equal
right to life of the mother, guarantees in its laws to respect and as far as
practicable by its laws to defend and vindicate that right.

Mass to day Sunday:
This
Sunday our Mass will be a Mass of thanksgiving for the clearing of the debt. We
will offer the Mass for the members of the Finance Committee who over the last
14 years attended meetings so faithfully not to mention their diligence in
counting, banking and recording the building fund collection as well as
counting, banking, and recording Dues for the Priest income. Needless to say we
will include those whose contributions over the last 14 years have made it
possible to have such a fine Church. We will pray for those members of the
Committee who have since died.
