Culture of Life
His Excellency Bishop Luis T. Stockler, quoted in Argentinean bishop: What the Nazis did in secret is today made legal:
    [Humans are not] a mass of organized molecules that disintegrate at death in order to be absorbed into the universal energy to recycle nature’s metabolism.

    The dignity of the human person lies in that we were created in the image and likeness of God and it is for this reason that human life is inviolable.

    That is the reason why the Church is so inflexible when it comes to defending human life. It’s not stubbornness, but rather the consequence of our faith.

    The one who in the name of Jesus Christ believes in the Father as Creator does not put himself in His place in order to intervene in or fabricate human life according to his own view. Today, genetic engineering dares to manipulate human life and judge it in its prenatal state as undesirable in order to eliminate it.
