La Iglesia Católica cree y enseña que toda la vida humana es sagrada desde la concepción hasta la muerte natural. Por eso, nosotros, los obispos de cada diócesis de New Jersey, nos unimos en levantar la voz más fuerte en oposición a la “Acta de Libertad Reproductiva”.

Nuestro Santo Padre Papa Francisco ha publicado su tercera carta encíclica nombrada Fratelli Tutti (literalmente significa “hermanos todos”), firmándola en Asís el 3 de octubre en el sepulcro de su patrón, el san Francisco de Asís, en el 794 aniversario de su muerte. A pesar de la controversia sobre el título como algo sexista, la Santa Sede ha respondido que el papa Francisco lo citó directamente de las escrituras del san Francisco y optó por no cambiarlo. El título no pretende excluir ni ofender a las mujeres. La encíclica está dirigida a todos los seres humanos, algo que queda muy claro de por todo el texto.

Our Holy Father Pope Francis has published his third encyclical letter entitled “Fratelli tutti”(literally “brothers all”), signing it in Assisi on October 3, at the tomb of his patron, St. Francis of Assisi, on the 794th anniversary of his death.  Despite the controversy that has arisen over its title as sexist, the Holy See has responded that Pope Francis was using a direct quote from the writings of St. Francis which he chose not to change.  That decision was in no way intended to exclude or offend women, to whom the encyclical is also addressed, since such terminology, as traditionally used, includes both women and men.  That inclusivity is clearly evident and represented throughout the text.
