No, he did not. What he did was to prevent any further babies from being used that way. The ones that are lost are lost. Period.

I wasn't going to bring this up, but you seem like a good person to ask. I've always been offended by the Catholic practice of referring to the Pope as the Holy Father, since God clearly states in Matthew 23:9, "And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." God is the Holy Father, not the pope.

I have wondered that for years but haven't asked any Catholic that question because I didn't want to question another Christian's beliefs because I believe that the differences between Christians of various religions aren't nearly as important as the one thing that we all have in common, and that is that we love God and have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

I figure that it's okay to ask you this question since you don't seem to have any qualms about questioning the faith of others who don't see everything exactly as you do.
