It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.’ (1Cor 13,4-7)”He then blessed the pilgrims, saying “May the Lord protect you from the Evil One”.

Other cases would be when there is a suspected disability, and when a young girl becomes pregnant because of rape or incest. “Life is a gift from God and no one can dispose of it under any circumst...
