This is one of the most impactful speeches delivered by the Pope.
He just received a 7-minute standing ovation for affirming the dignity of human life, from the moment of conception to natural death, in front of the Spanish Parliament
"The defense of human life is neither a partisan issue nor a confessional interest: it is a goal of civilization."
"Can a community that casts into the shadows the unborn child, the elderly, the sick, those who suffer in silence, or those who depend entirely on the care of others be called fully just?"
Watch.
The Catholic Church has consistently taught that each human life, from the moment of conception until natural death, is sacred and deserves to be protected. Indeed, the right to life is the very foundation of every other human right. For this reason, only when a society safeguards the sanctity of human life will it flourish and prosper.
