John Cardinal O'Connor and the Culture of Life

From 1984 to 2000, John Cardinal O'Connor, Archbishop of New York felt obliged to confront the culture of death which was taking hold in the United States during his tenure. Through his sermons, address, encounters with the secular media and those in political life he took every opportunity to foster in the States a culture of life. He was a forceful opponent of euthanasia, abortion, human cloning, capital punishment, human trafficking and unjust war. He founded the Sisters of Life to carry on his fight.
