Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City left pro-abortion talking points in tatters last night when he delivered a powerful homily in defense of life at the National Prayer Vigil for Life.
Aside from being an exciting, fun, and powerful way to witness to the dignity of human life, those who participate in the National Prayer Vigil for Life and other sacred celebrations surrounding the March for Life in Washington DC tomorrow will also have the opportunity to gain a plenary indulgence.
