CULTURE OF LIFE REFLECTIONS “My predecessor Saint Paul VI warned in his 1968

encyclical letter ‘Humanae Vitae’ about the temptation to

consider human life as one object among many over which

powerful and educated people can exercise dominion. How

prophetic is his message now! These days prenatal

diagnosis is commonly used to filter out those who are

deemed weak or inferior.”

--Pope Francis, “Let Us Dream”
