Abortion reflects ‘blindness of heart,’ archbishop says at Roe anniversary Mass
On Jan. 22, 1973, two Supreme Court decisions legalized abortion, an atrocity the continuation of which Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin attributes to “blindness of the heart.” He spoke about this and more during the archdiocese’s Jan. 22 Mass of solemn observance of the Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions made 42 years ago. The Mass was held at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis, with between 300-350 pro-life advocates and students from various schools in central and southern Indiana in attendance. (Page 1)

Christian leaders participate in prayer service at cathedral
Leaders of various Christian communities across Indiana gathered in prayer with Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin for the promotion of Christian unity on Jan. 25 at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis. It was the same day on which Pope Francis joined in Rome with Christian leaders from around the world with the same goal in mind. Both prayer services came at the conclusion of the international Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, which was held from Jan. 18-25. (Page 2)
