“Nowadays, the Church cannot be a mere guardian of ideas and beliefs, however good and righteous that may be,” writes Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, president of the Pontifical Academy for Life. “The mystery of life, that is, the way God dwells in history, must not only be safeguarded and protected, but also pragmatically proclaimed as much as possible, because men and women on this planet need to perceive the salvific presence of the Spirit in their lives.”
