Dignity of human life a non-negotiable

While the title sounds like the Catholic Answers Voter's Guide, it's Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan in the "Herald of Hope" column in the January 19, 2006 Catholic Herald. He talks about a revert he knows.

She reasons that what brought her back, after a quarter century of searching, doubt, skepticism, study, prayer, and membership in other churches, is that, for the Catholic Church, certain matters are non-negotiable. In matters of faith, she figures the Creed we pray at every Sunday Mass rather tidily sums up the non-negotiables in what we believe; in morals, how we behave, she has concluded that the non-negotiable is the innate, inherent, inviolable value and dignity of every single human life, from womb-to-tomb.

There seem to be a fair number of priests in our Archdiocese who would prefer to omit the Creed. Maybe they're concerned it might draw in these pro-lifers.
