Abstract

It is always a great honor to address a gathering of Catholics devoted to the pro-life cause. It has been my experience that Catholic pro-lifers represent the core of the serious Catholic community, a core that is as altruistic, hard-working, and authentically spiritual as is conceivable given a human nature impaired by the reality of original sin. My talk tonight has three purposes. First, I would like to say a few words about the history, purpose, and activities of the Nassau Community College Center for Catholic Studies which I founded in 2000 and have since directed. Secondly, I would like to make the case that one central educational goal of the Center is to provide a forum to the community, both inside and outside of the College, that explains and clearly communicates the Catholic pro-life position on all the stages of the individual’s life cycle (i.e., from the moment of conception through to natural death). Finally, I would like to suggest the special importance of such a forum existing in an American public institution of higher education.
