Pope Benedict XVI said Monday it was the Vatican's "duty" to defend "basic human values" by protesting pro-abortion and euthanasia laws at a meeting with Germany's new ambassador to the Holy See.
In his remarks to Reinhard Schweppe, the Pope reiterated the values enshrined in both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the German constitution, following the Holocaust.
