Pro-life and gender issues of concern to Church in Venezuela

The bishops of Venezuela are concerned about growing pressure for legalizing abortion, euthanasia and promoting gender ideology in the Country. These concerns have been expressed by the Permanent Commission of the Bishops’ Conference of Venezuela (CEV) in a statement entitled “Great Human Values”, which reiterates that all human beings must be respected in their dignity, from which human rights descend, including the most important one: the right to life. “In a special way, believers in Christ must defend and promote this right”, on the recognition of which “every human community and the political community itself are founded”, the bishops remark, quoting Pope John Paul II’s Encyclical “Evangelium Vitae”.
