UPDATE: Read our full report at the link. The Archbishop has now said that "he agrees fully with the Church’s teaching on abortion and that he should not have used the quotation" in question. https://onepeterfive.com/archbishop-eamon-martin-walks-back-his-reference-to-pro-abortion-rhetoric-in-remarks-on-irish-vote/ Original Description: Archbishop Martin, Primate of All of Ireland, told RTE news that he hopes those who had advocated a "no" vote on the repeal of protection for the unborn in the Irish Constitution would "now work very actively to try to ensure that the legislation that is passed ... allows for abortion which is rare, which is safe, and which is legal." In comments made to 1P5, the Archbishop's spokesman, Martin Long, said that "Archbishop Eamon Martin’s words were heavily edited in the broadcast by RTÉ and these were taken out of the context for that very short prerecorded clip. The Archbishop continues to call on all people to reject abortion and to choose life ... The clip as shown does not reflect his position as he has consistently spoken out against abortion." Catholics the world over are left to wonder in what context the Archbishop's words repeating the "safe, legal, and rare" mantra of the pro-abortion movement could be construed as compatible with the Church's teaching on the sanctity of life.
