The Consistent Ethic of Life
The position of Priests for Life in regard to the "Consistent Ethic of Life" is twofold: 1) properly understood, it is a valid and valuable principle, and 2) it has been misunderstood both by some who are active in the pro-life movement and by others.
In an effort to take a fresh and in-depth look at the teaching proposed both by the late Joseph Cardinal Bernardin and by the United States bishops, Priests for Life is happy to make available here the full text of some of the major addresses given by Cardinal Bernardin, as well as a brief commentary by Fr. Frank Pavone.
