Pope to Academy for Life: Bad Health or Disability Never a Reason for Exclusion, Elimination
(Vatican Radio) “The loss of health and disability are never a good reason for excluding, or worse, for eliminating a person” – that’s what Pope Francis says in a message dated February 19th to the President of the Pontifical Academy for Life, Msgr.
