The Ulma family: a remarkable beatification of martyrdom

[Stella]

I love this amazing family instantly.

Killed for having hidden eight Jews in their home in 1944, the Ulma family is due to be beatified on 10 September 2023, making it the first time an entire family will be beatified together, including the child carried in the mother's womb at the time of her death.

This week a high profile traditionalist takes issue with the beautification of the Ulma's unborn child along with the rest of the family. I find it a strange position to take considering the Catholic position on the legitimacy of the life of an unborn child.

I find it a strange position to take considering the Catholic position on the legitimacy of the life of an unborn child.

His position is strange not because of "the Catholic position on the legitimacy of the life of an unborn child" but because he seems not to consider this was a case of martyrdom.

I've just read an article regarding this very point.
