Pope Francis: Unborn are "uno di noi" ...


From the Vatican, original translation via Rorate's Italian contributor, Francesca Romana:

I greet all the participants on “The March for Life” which took place this morning in Rome and invite everyone to maintain keen attention on this theme of such importance with respect to human life from the moment of conception. With regard to this, I would mention also the gathering of signatures that today took place in many Italian parishes with  the aim of sustaining the European initiative “Uno di noi” (One of Us) to guarantee juridical protection of the embryo, safeguarding every human being from the first instant of existence. A special moment for those who hold in their hearts the defense of the sacredness of human life will be “Giornata dell’Evangelium Vitae” (Day of E.V.) which will take place here in the Vatican, in  the context  of The Year of Faith, on the 15th and 16th of June of this year.

With affection I greet all the parish groups.

Franciscus
