During the closing of the International Congress, “Europe for Life,” held this past weekend at the Catholic University of San Antonio in Murcia, Spain, Cardinal Antonio Cañizares, Archbishop of Toledo, called the family “the sole hope of humanity.”
The cardinal made his statements during a talk on the cultural importance of the family. He noted the “close relationship between the deterioration of the family and the attack on human life,” thus referring to terrorism and abortion as “examples of that attack.”
“Without a doubt,” the cardinal said, “the most serious injustice and oppression of the present time is that of the great multitude of defenseless human beings whose fundamental right to life is being squashed.”
