New York City (CNA/EWTN News) — The Holy See paid homage to all women and girls who have selflessly served others in education, healthcare, and forming the youth and upheld the four Missionaries of Charity murdered in Yemen as an example of women with unwavering dedication to peace.
"My delegation feels duty-bound at this moment to remember with gratitude and sorrow the four Missionary Sisters of the Charity Sister Anselm from India, Sister Marguerite and Sister Reginette from Rwanda, and Sister Judit from Kenya, who were massacred by cowardly fundamentalists on March 4 in Aden, Yemen," a Vatican spokesperson told the United Nations Security Council March 28.
London (CNA/EWTN News) — In a recent interview with British daily The Guardian, renowned actor Jeremy Irons voiced his opposition to easy divorce and to abortion, which he said is a sin and "harms a woman."
"Take abortion," he told The Guardian's Catherine Shoard in an interview published March 24. "I believe women should be allowed to make the decision, but I also think the church is right to say it's a sin. Because sin is actions that harm us. Lying harms us. Abortion harms a woman – it's a tremendous mental attack, and physical, sometimes. But we seem to get that muddled. In a way, thank God the Catholic church does say we won't allow it, because otherwise nobody's saying that it's a sin."
