A culture that protects life from conception to natural death is the only answer to the idea that some lives are expendable due to inconvenience or population control, Pope Francis said.
Following in the path of St Teresa of Calcutta, Christians are called to stand up and defend the lives of the unborn and the vulnerable, the Pope said on February 5 in his remarks after the recitation of the Angelus prayer.
"We are close to and pray together for the children who are in danger with the termination of pregnancy, as well as for people who are at the end of their lives; every life is sacred," he said.
