Archbishop Compares Abortion to Slaughter of the Innocents

Archbishop Michael Miller of Vancouver, British Columbia, preaching at the annual pro-life Mass, celebrated on the Feast of the Holy Innocents, did not mince his words: “Herod distinguished himself by the cold-blooded murder of innocent babies, in a vain effort to secure his throne against any rivals . . . . We do not know their number, but they are venerated as martyrs because they died in the place of Christ.  In a similar way we can consider all the unborn who die in the womb as silent witnesses to Christ and his infinite power to save.”
