Archbishop John Rodrigues of Bombay has praised parents expecting newborns for respecting life at its weakest, and for doing so in the manner taught by the Church.
Saying Mass for expectant parents on the Solemnity of the Annunciation at the Basilica of Our Lady of the Mount in Bandra, a suburb of Mumbai, India’s most-populous city, the archbishop said there are both positive and negative trends occurring in society in regard to having children, while pointing out how a number of countries are now experiencing a declining birth rate.
