LATINAMERICAN NETWORK OF PRIESTS AND SEMINARIANS
FOR LIFE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background
HUMAN LIFE INTERNATIONAL (www.hli.org) together with its Hispanic
division, VIDA HUMANA INTERNATIONAL (www.vidahumana.org), is
the largest pro-life organization in the world with ecclesiastic
RECOGNITION and whose mission is to Create an Effective Opposition to
the Culture of Death Around the World and therefore to defend Human life
and family values. As we all know, at the present time the Culture of Death
and its threats have increased tremendously.
We are also conscious that the renewal of humanity starting with the Catholic
Church must necessarily include the renewal of priests, who are the
shepherds of the Lord’s people, who will play a major role in the future
Evangelization of the world and therefore in the establishment of a
CULTURE of LIFE, which should motivate all Christians to take the
following message of Jesus to the world: "I came that they may have life, and
have it abundantly" (Jn 10,10).
Accordingly, VHI is committed to establishing a NETWORK OF PRIESTS
AND SEMINARIANS FOR LIFE IN LATIN AMERICA.
Purpose
The main objective of the NETWORK will be: To promote the Gospel of the
Lord and the Culture of Life, among diocesan priests and the majority of
seminarians in Latin America by establishing and fortifying a network at the
local, national and international levels among the local ecclesiastical
hierarchies, pro-life organizations and the seminaries in the entire Region.
This initiative demands the efforts of a full-time priest and a technical team,
who will have as their main strategy the promotion in each Latin American
country an interactive network between priests and seminarians. The team
includes Father Juan Carlos Chávez, Dean of Our Lady of Peace Seminary of
Tulcan, Ecuador (with Diocesan approval) and Juan Mario Rojas, Director of
International Coordination of VHI.

The Network will provide:

Information and educational courses open to priests and seminarians,
dealing with all aspects relative to the defense of human life from the
moment of conception to natural death, and also about the defense of
family values as the Christian revelation and the Catholic Church
tradition present them.

At the pastoral level, key facts and actions about the reality of
defending all human life and family values in Latin America. These
efforts will make it possible for priests and seminarians (future
shepherds) to reach the faithful with solid and convincing arguments.
Beginning with the correct vision of human sexuality according to
Divine Revelation and the Teachings of the Church, continuing with
natural family planning and the exposé of the “unholy trinity” of birth
control, sex “education” and abortion, the consequences of abortion
and how to prevent it, the traumatic situation of women who have
suffered because of an abortion (PAS or post abortion syndrome), and
also dealing with the spirituality of priests and the impact of
establishing in our world the CULTURE OF LIFE.

Access to volunteers of organizations affiliated to VHI in different
countries of Latin America, with educational tools and strategies in
defense of life, and especially: 1) On line courses on sexual education
according to the teachings of the Catholic Church, that are available
in the web page of VHI (www.vidahumana.org), or to other Catholic
institutions of education in the Spanish speaking world. 2) The LatinAmerican Network of Crisis Pregnancy Centers
(www.camslatinoamerica.org) and its affiliates in Latin America,
which offer help to women facing an unexpected pregnancy under
difficult circumstances. 3) Courses to promote natural family
planning. 4) Places where women that reject abortion can live at least
until the birth of a new life, which is a gift from God, is born. 5)
Spiritual experiences of retreats and processes that seek the interior
healing of all those women who have suffered because of an abortion.
6) Areas of spiritual growth to fortify the pastoral commitment of
priests and seminarians for the right to life.


Contacts to all networks that VHI has helped create through the years
and eventually links to a network of people and contemplative
religious communities that could adopt all priests and seminarians
who fight for the right to life. The prayers of these communities will
be a protection in the battle against evil.
We humbly ask for your support and blessing of this NETWORK
especially now, at the beginning of the Year for Priests recently
launched by Pope Benedict XVI.
