We implore him to amend his ways, to turn away from embracing the pro-abort stance with no mercy for the lives of millions of unborn. Other than the few negative responses we printed last week, we have had nothing but encouragement from the readers. Nazareth and Golgotha On this day one year ago Pope John Paul II began the day with a prayerful visit at the Grotto of the Annunciation in Nazareth, then celebrated Mass in the Basilica of the Annunciation on the special occasion of the Feast of the Annunciation. The tone of the Eastern Orthodox is that it's one sided and Rome only needs to apologize. Guess they can't understand the truth and to admit it would give credence that they have been wrong.
Pride does that to many.
This week the U.N. Human Rights Commission opened its annual session in Geneva. One theme unlikely to be treated is the lack of respect for human rights in family planning programs. The recent decision by American President George W. Bush to deny U.S. funding to organizations involved in abortions drew attention once more to the behavior of the Western-based and financed groups. Abortion, however, is only one of the problems in the population control efforts promoted by rich countries and the United Nations. The abhorrent policies of human rights violations in China and other places for the sake of family planning are attrocious.
