CNA Staff, Dec 17, 2020 / 04:00 am (CNA).- A Catholic bishop presided Saturday at a funeral Mass for 640 unborn children in Poland.
Bishop Kazimierz Gurda of Siedlce celebrated the Mass Dec. 12 in the Church of Holy Trinity in Gończyce, 50 miles southeast of the capital, Warsaw.
In his homily, he said: “These children have the right to a worthy burial as they are persons from the moment of conception. The right to life is a right that cannot be taken away from anyone, including and above all from a defenseless child in the womb.”
