ROME – Both the Italian archbishop who heads the Pontifical Academy for Life and an Ango-Italian economist who serves on it struck back at critics who claim their statements and views are at odds with traditional Catholic doctrine on sexual morality.
Mariana Mazzucato, a Rome-born economist who’s served as an advisor to the UN, the World Health Organization, and to the governments of both Scotland and South Africa, urged people to focus on the scope of her academic work, which she insisted has nothing to do with abortion or even with religion.
