Father John Lemire, chair of the Board of Priests for Life Canada, commended the archbishop for his decision as well.
“An important & bold pastoral decision by Archbishop Smith,” Lemire said, sharing the letter on Facebook and Twitter. “Let’s hope that other bishops will do the same & that we can finally see some real and meaningful change with Development & Peace after years of concern being raised by leaders in the pro-life movement. Thank you Archbishop Smith.”
