MADRID, Spain, August 11, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The organizers of a major pro-life festival at World Youth Day say that they are “delighted” to confirm that renowned pro-life leader, Cardinal George Pell of Sydney, Australia will address the gathering in Madrid next week.
“Cardinal Pell is a world renowned pro-life leader, who has long been an uncompromising voice for the protection of human life, and we’re delighted that he will address this important international gathering in Madrid, along with pro-life investigative journalist, Lila Rose, and other great speakers,” said Íde Nic Mhathúna, spokeswoman for the Irish pro-life group, Youth Defence.
The Viva la Vida! Festival, which takes place Aug 17 at the Circulo della Bellas Artes, is expected to attract hundreds of young pro-life activists and leaders who will hear from leading pro-life advocates, listen to some of the best music bands, and learn moves for a pro-life ‘flash mob’ which will take place in Madrid’s city centre. Featured bands include Scythian, Ooberfuse, Elation Ministries, and L’Angelus.
The festival, says Youth Defence, aims to build on the growing synergy and strength of youth-led pro-life groups who are gaining new ground across Europe and the rest of the world. It will give a platform to more than a dozen such pro-life groups from Spain, Australia, Germany, Poland, Belgium, Ireland, the US and other countries, and promises to be an exciting and positive celebration of Life aiming to encourage pro-life activism.
Cardinal Pell has established Life Offices in Sydney and Melbourne and has warned of moral relativism in “matters of sexuality and questions of life and death,” pointing out that there are fundamental moral truths that anyone can discover through the use of reason, “truths which are embodied in the natural law and confirmed by Christ himself and the Ten Commandments.” One such truth, Cardinal Pell says, is that “You shall not kill. You shall not destroy innocent human life. Every human being has a right to life.”
