The skewed view of injustice in our country should make everyone take a step back and look hard at what it truly means to value the dignity of each and every human being.

But reality says that isn’t so.

On April 28, Catholic Relief Services launched a preemptive public response to American Life League’s concerns regarding findings that had, up to this point, remained unpublished. ALL had not yet published this research with the hope that private discussions could reach a satisfactory resolution and scandal could be avoided amongst the faithful.
Our society has taken a step away from what used to be thought of as the joys of motherhood and has firmly planted that foot in the weeds of selfishness.
