Priests for Life voiced their strong support yesterday for the activities conducted by Christians in Boulder, Colo., who for the last decade have buried the remains of babies who were aborted.
The church’s activity received much criticism and enraged pro-abortion groups. Crist Mortuary, which had been sending the remains to the church, issued a public apology to local hospitals and clinics this week for having done this.
"Some pro-abortion activists will protest the Sacred Heart of Mary Church in Boulder, for having held a religious ceremony to bury the dead. Obviously, these protestors are no friends of religious freedom," said Fr. Frank Pavone, national director of the organization.
“They should be ashamed of themselves.”
Fr. Pavone said Priests for Life will organize major ceremonies to bury aborted babies in the coming year.
