For Catholics and other Christians who are at a loss when it comes to the link between Faith and Works, the Archbishop of Denver provides a sober yet passionate defense of a fundamental principle: all human rights begin with the fundamental right: to-life, beginning at conception. Failure of the Christian (indeed any moral person) to defend life from the beginning is an extraordinary offense, endangering the integrity of his/her soul. Over the past four decades, one of the two principal parties in the country has moved away from this principle, while a number of prominent members of the other party have also described themselves as both "Catholic" and "pro-choice". The Archbishop shows how it is IMPOSSIBLE to be both. The thesis of the book is more than an invitation -- it is a call to action by committed Catholics (and, implicitly, all Christians and moral people of good will) to challenge the leaders of their party to undertake a defense of the most vulnerable among us -- the unborn. And, this may mean voting against party, against union, against coworkers. Embrace life, both here and now and in the eternity to come!
