The Church is mother and teacher, and it is her duty to nurture and care for all her children, great and small and yet to be born, teachers and prophets, and she never ceases to speak the truth whether in time or out of time, and the truth is Christ. It is He who sets us free (Jn 17:17). The leaders of a nation are there to support the citizens and the people, and they have a duty to protect life. Catechesis on abortion', with P. Sedera Joseph Rakotoarisoa.

There's a lot of talk today about limiting the number of children, about contraception; however, we have to be careful that in these contraceptive methods, some of them don't stop the male and female spermatozoa, but the already fertilized spermatozoa are destroyed by the method and the child comes out. It's the mentality of people today, due to globalization, that encourages people to have abortions. Catechesis on abortion', with P. Sedera Joseph Rakotoarisoa.

Humans were created to fill the earth, to reproduce through marriage. God created marriage for a reason, not just for pleasure. Children have the right to life from the moment they are conceived in their mother's womb; this fundamental right is reflected in the Ten Commandments. The breath of human life must be respected and protected at all costs. Catechesis on abortion', with P. Sedera Joseph Rakotoarisoa.

Abortion is a mortal sin because it insults God, the Creator of life; depriving man of the right to life. Sex is love, not a game. Natural contraception is recommended by the Church. Educators have a great duty to teach life and love; people who wish to build a marriage must be prepared in every respect. Catechesis on abortion', with P. Sedera Joseph Rakotoarisoa.
