Description
"All together we must build a new culture of life." - Pope John Paul II
Is it possible to do this in the United States? At least 40 million Americans have died by legalized abortion, euthanasia is accepted practice, and a pagan culture is hostile to morality and family.
Professor Charles E Rice of Notre Dame Law School says we can build that culture of life. In this reader-friendly book, he shows that the culture of death is itself dying and that we are on the winning side. A teacher of constitutional law and jurisprudence for three decades, Rice traces legalized abortion and euthanasia to their origins. He argues that the American Republic is dead and that the Constitution cannot be restored to what it was in the beginning. But this is a hope-filled book. Rice offers a blueprint for Catholics and others to witness to the Truth who is Christ. Readers will find a challenge - and discomfort - in his answers on abortion, euthanasia, contraception, public schools and vouchers, Catholic universities, "gay rights," pacifism, the death penalty, immigration and even global free trade. "A new phase in the history of freedom is opening up," John Paul II told American bishops in 1998. This book will tell you why and how we are on the winning side.
