DETROIT (CNA/EWTN News) — Trinity Health Corporations, one of the largest Catholic health care operations in America, is seeking the dismissal of a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union over its refusal to provide women with abortion services at their medical facilities.
"This case has no merit. A federal court already dismissed a similar ACLU claim, and we will seek dismissal of this suit for the same reason," stated Eve Pidgeon, the manager of public relations at Trinity Health Corporations.
VATICAN CITY (CNA/EWTN News) — Pope Francis opened the Synod on the Family with a reminder that it's not a forum whereby leaders come to an agreement, but a journey of openness to the Holy Spirit and "apostolic courage" against worldly temptations that can lead people away from the truth.
"The synod is not a conference or a parlor, nor is it a parliament or a senate where we come to an agreement," he said. Rather, it is the Church journeying together "to interpret reality with the eyes of faith and the heart of God."
