Bishops' Response to Speaker Pelosi's "Meet the Press" comments

Citing the Catechism of the Catholic Church, specifically # 2271, Justin Cardinal Rigali, chairman of the USCCB's Committee on Pro-Life Activities, along with Bishop William Lori, chairman of the Doctrine Committee, sought to refute Speaker Pelosi's erroneous statement on last week's Sunday news program, to the effect that church teaching on abortion has changed over the centuries and is somewhat ambiguous, by issuing a statement: Bishops respond to House Speaker Pelosi’s misrepresentation of Church teaching against abortion. Here is a link to a very good pamphlet by the USCCB The Catholic Church is a Pro-Life Church.
