LifeSiteNews reports that Judie Brown, President of the American Life League, and a three-term member of the Pontifical Academy for Life, is the latest member of the Academy (together with five others) to question some of Archbishop Rino Fisichella’s statements in relation to the involvement of the Archbishop of Recife, Brazil, in the sad story of the young Brazilian girl who had been raped – resulting in her becoming pregnant with twins.
The story, including the subsequent abortion of her unborn babies, has been well documented on John Smeaton’s blog (www.spuc-director.blogspot.com).
See, especially, his blogs for 17 February 2010, 19 March 2009. 11 July 2009

Pat Buckley
I was born in Galway, Ireland where I attended first Scoil Fhursa and then St Ignatius (Jesuit) College. My family moved to Cork in 1960 and I spent my last year at the Christian Brothers College in Mc Curtain street Cork (CBC).
I came to Dublin in 1963 where I met and married my wife Philomena. We have lived in Dublin since then and have been blessed with seven children and 17 grandchildren (so far). When I finished school I studied architecture through the professional institutions and I am a retired Member of the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland (MRIAI). I also hold a BSc. in psychology and political philosophy.
I currently lobby pro-life and pro-family issues at the United Nations in New York and Geneva and occasionally at the European Parliament and Council of Europe. I am a member of the pro-life, pro-family coalition operating within the international institutions and I am a consultant to the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children SPUC on UN and related matters.
Between 1978-85, as a married couple Philomena and I were involved in the presentation of Marriage Encounter Weekends and pre-marriage courses. We also represented Worldwide Marriage Encounter on a committee for the family in the Dublin Archdiocese. Between 1985-1988. I was appointed National Secretary and then President of the Catholic Secondary Schools Parents Association (CSPA). I have been lobbying pro-life issue at the UN for upwards of 12 years.
I am a past President of the National Association of Catholic Families (NACF)

1997: Anthology of pro-life verse
