About this sermon
The archbishop for military services is speaking out against the provision to allow abortions at the Department for Veterans Affairs medical centers in certain circumstances. In a letter released late last week, Archbishop Timothy Broglio calls the measure "morally repugnant." He adds that it fails to incorporate basic conscience protections, and thus creates First Amendment issues for VA employees and military commanders. Head of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, Archbishop Timothy Broglio, joins to tell us why he felt it was so important to write this letter. He talks more about this new ruling regarding abortions in VA medical centers and why it is so troubling. The archbishop also condemned the Department of Defense policy which allows taxpayer funding to cover travel related expenses for procuring an abortion. Archbishop Broglio shares what more he can tell us for those who are not familiar with this policy. He discusses whether he has received any response or reaction to his letter and whether there are other steps they can take to try and stop these abortions. On another note, the archbishop was also very outspoken about the change in Catholic pastoral care for Walter Reed hospital in Bethesda, Maryland. Just before Holy Week they ended a contract with Franciscan friars and replaced them with a secular for-profit group. Archbishop Broglio fills us in on any updates. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
