Respect Life Message 12/19/04

"It has always been important that Catholics be involved in political life. Our National motto is: One Nation under God. We must as a people, defend the basic moral principles. In the Declaration of Independence we say these rights are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We acknowledge that the right to life is a fundamental right in our society. If we don't have life we don't have anything."

Archbishop John Foley, President of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, Vatican City
