A Question For Giuliani
in response to reader comment: You misstated Church teaching on abortion

Submitted by Patricia Nolan, May 14, 2007 11:13

Dear Mrs. Colon:

There is never any case in which abortion is permissible in the Catholic Church. See "Catechism of the Catholic Church", starting on page 547. That having been said, let me tell you how much I admire your excellent articles. You have hit the nail on the head for me every time. I thank you SO MUCH!

Sincerely,

Pat Nolan
