Pope Leo XIV delivers pro-life speech in Lourdes

Catholic Intelligence1 min read

Pope Leo XIV met with patients and their companions at the Accueil Notre-Dame Center in Lourdes on Sunday, September 27. During the meeting at the health and hospitality facility, the Pope spoke about human dignity and the sacred nature of fragility.

The address drew attention from the secular press because the country has enshrined abortion as a constitutional right and legalized euthanasia. In his remarks, the Pope noted that the Sanctuary's pastoral theme this year focuses on the Archangel Gabriel's greeting to Mary, which he said emphasizes the foundation of human dignity.
