The Scranton Times reports that a letter from the Bishop of Scranton,Joseph Martino, concerning the church's position on abortion, will be read at all the Masses this weekend in the Diocese of Scranton.
"Jesus Christ ... does not ask us to take up his Cross only to have us leave it at the voting booth door,” Bishop Martino says in the two-page pastoral letter, which will also be circulated with all parish bulletins on Saturday and Sunday. In it, he criticizes the laws that protect abortion rights and takes particular aim at political candidates who express support for those rights" The article continues: Scranton Diocese priests read abortion position letter to parishioners | News | thetimes-tribune.com - The Times-Tribune:
