Abortion-Activist Mariana Mazzucato Adresses Pontifical Academy for Life
Pope Leo XIV received the participants on February 16 and delivered a speech. He referred to the "universal family" and called for strengthened international entities, including "supranational organisations engaged in the protection and promotion of health".
Leo XIV continues with Francis' personnel
The annual meeting of the Academy is combined with a workshop focusing on a specific theme. This year, the theme was 'Healthcare for All: Sustainability and Equity'.
Pro-abortion activist Mariana Mazzucato is among the speakers. She chairs the World Health Organization Council on the Economics of Health for All.
Pope Francis appointed Mazzucato in 2022 as a member to the Pontifical Academy, and later defended the decision during a press conference.
Advocates of contraceptives
John Nkengasong, a Cameroonian virologist and former United States Global AIDS Coordinator, and Sheila Tlou, co-chair of the Global HIV Prevention Coalition, also speak at the 2026 assembly.
Abortion industry 'Planned Parenthood' welcomed President Joe Biden’s appointment of Nkengasong as United States Global AIDS Coordinator in 2021.
Following her 2022 appointment to the Academy, CatholicNewsAgency.com reported that Tlou was described as “an outspoken advocate of artificial birth control”.
