DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

Trial of Catholic Anti-Abortion Activists, Randall Terry and Joseph Landry, for 'Trespass' at St. Thomas More Cathedral

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 /Christian Newswire/ -- Catholic anti-abortion activists, Randall Terry and Joseph Landry, will stand trial for "trespass" at St. Thomas More Cathedral, Arlington, VA, under the authority of Bishop Paul Loverde.

On Friday, December 19, at 9:30 a.m., Randall Terry and Joseph Landry will stand trial at 1425 North Courthouse Road, Arlington, VA 22201 (Arlington General District Court, 3rd Floor) for "criminal trespassing." The charges stem from handing out pro- life flyers in the parking lot of St. Thomas More Cathedral during mass on October 5, 2008.

The flyer, entitled "Faithful Catholic Citizenship," can be read at www.humbleplea.com.

Repeated requests have been made by Catholics in the DC area to Bishop Loverde's office to drop the charges against pro-life activists who face trespassing charges. The requests have been rebuffed.
