After fourteen monthly protests in front of Sant Pau hospital in Barcelona, little has changed. The institution, which claims to be Catholic and includes multiple priests on its board of directors, is accused of continuing to perform abortions, LifeSiteNews reports. Cardinal Archbishop Lluis Martínez Sistach remains silent while mainstream media headlines shout: “Hospitals linked to the Catalan Church still offer abortion services.”
Other hospitals in the Archdiocese of Barcelona and neighbouring dioceses also continue to perform abortions and sterilisations, and dispense contraceptives, all in opposition to Catholic teaching, according to protest organiser Fr. Custodio Ballester.
