Our mission is to build a civilization of love and life which upholds the dignity
and inviolability of all innocent human life, seeks objective moral Truth,
embraces the value of redemptive suffering, and yearns for the fullness of life
in eternal communion with God the Creator.
An ongoing, long-range, and intensive educational effort in the Catholic community can provide an understanding of the issues and lead people to conviction and commitment. Such efforts should utilize the best medical, sociological, and legal information available. This should include the most recent advances in medical technology that demonstrate the continuity of human development from conception onwards. Ultimately, however, moral and theological arguments present the central issue of respect for human life in its most intellectually compelling terms. — Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities
The United States Catholic Conference of Bishops has compiled a great deal of helpful and informative resources to educate yourself further on issues regarding human dignity and respect for all human life, visit the USCCB page: http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/human-life-and-dignity/.
