Vatican backs abortion row bishop
Cardinal Re said the attack on Brazil's Catholic Church was unjustified
A senior Vatican cleric has defended the excommunication in Brazil of the mother and doctors of a young girl who had an abortion with their help.
The nine-year-old had conceived twins after alleged abuse by her stepfather.
Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re told Italian paper La Stampa that the twins "had the right to live" and
attacks on Brazil's Catholic Church were unfair.
