Feminist Mob Invades Catholic Church, Unfurls Pro-Abortion Banner on Altar
Pro-abortion feminists are not happy that the European Parliament rejected a bill that would have called abortion a human right. In response, in protest, they invaded a local Catholic church in Italy and unfurled a pro-abortion banner on the church's altar.
"A group of pro-abortion feminists have invaded the Catholic cathedral in Bologna, Italy, to protest against the rejection by the European Parliament of the pro-abortion Estrela report," says John Smeaton, the head of the British pro-life group Society for the Protection of Unborn Children. "The protesters unfurled a pro-abortion banner in front of the cathedral's sanctuary. Cardinal Carlo Caffara, Bologna's archbishop, had called upon the European Parliament to reject the Estrela report." Ref. Source 8

Bishop Andrew Cozzens is one such person. LifeNews has profiled this bishop who escaped abortion and now he's given an interview to CatholicVote to share the rest of the story. Next week, he will lead students from Benedictine College at the March for Life. Ref. Source 4
