Monsignor Charles Pope is the pastor of Holy Comforter - St. Cyprian Catholic Church in Washington, DC. In his spare time, he is involved with Catholic media and lectures across America.
I once spent the afternoon taking part in a webinar focused on providing support, Church teaching, and information to families who receive a prenatal diagnosis that their child will be disabled in some way. Perhaps they are informed that the child will have Down syndrome or perhaps a birth defect that will lead either to early death or to a lifetime of challenges.
