In a series of tweets, South African Cardinal Wilfrid Napier, archbishop of Durban, called attention to the high rate of abortion among black Americans, referring to it as “genocide” and suggesting that abortion is what the Catholic church should be apologizing for.<\/p>\n

Napier’s comments followed recent calls for the Catholic church to apologize for the way it has treated gays and lesbians and for\u00a0its teachings on homosexuality, to which Napier replied via tweet<\/a>, \u201cGod help us! Next we\u2019ll have to apologize for teaching that adultery is a sin! Political Correctness (PC) is today\u2019s major heresy!\u201d<\/p>\n

Napier suggested that abortions in the U.S. in general, as well as abortions specifically of black babies, are what truly demand an apology. He notes that a “disproportionate” percent of black babies are being aborted.<\/p>\n

1\/3 Guttmacher Institute estimates that since 1973 USA has aborted 57 million+ babies! Isn't this something we should be apologizing for?<\/p>\n
