An Important Advisory from Texas Catholic Bishops

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

The Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops (TCCB) have issued a critically important parish advisory regarding the hostile position of Texas Right to Life towards the authentic Catholic teaching on the dignity of human life presented by the Texas Catholic Bishops in communion with the Holy See.

As bishop of the Diocese of Fort Worth, I have a responsibility to teach and to govern and to sanctify. When an organization says that my brother bishops and I are not teaching the authentic magisterium of the Church on matters of life, when they say that and it causes dissension and harm, I have an obligation to speak to that by speaking the truth on these matters.

I humbly ask you to take a few minutes to read the Texas Bishops’ advisory which can be found here https://fwdioc.org/TCCB-parish-advisory-texas-right-to-life.pdf and on the diocesan website.

As the advisory articulates, Catholics are urged to engage in pro-life legislative advocacy by engaging with the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops.

Yours in Christ,
Bishop Michael F. Olson, STD, MA
