1994-2024. At the service of human life. At the service of the Popes and the Church.
In 1994 Pope John Paul II
founded the Pontifical Academy for Life.
Defending and protecting the human life, against abortion and euthanasia.
No one should be abandoned; the Christian community stands in solidarity and close to those who suffer.
Pope Francis
renews the Statutes and composition of the Academicians,
with experts from various disciplines and Religions.
In the world, as believers,
in dialogue with humanity.
Challenges to life expand: care and health for all,
technologies for true human development.
Yes to life, Yes to development, solidarity, justice.
No wars and conflicts.
Let us work for a present and a future
in a reconciled and habitable world.
