Vatican prelate defends abortion for 9-year-old
Good to see somebody in the Vatican isn't making excuses or concocting theories to justify the vicious public attack by the Archbishop of Racife on a 9 year old girl.
Earlier this month, the archbishop of Recife, where the child and her family lives, made a public announcement about the excommunication, which is the church's most severe penalty. Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, a top Vatican official, has supported the archbishop.
But Fisichella criticized the archbishop's public denunciation, writing that the girl "should have been above all defended, embraced, treated with sweetness to make her feel that we were all on her side, all of us, without distinction."
