The ACdP congratulates Christmas with those who also "were born again".

The new Christmas campaign promoted by the Catholic Association of Propagandists (ACdP) congratulates these holidays with four testimonies of some of the discarded of our society: from a mother who accepts the serious illness of her daughter to a boy whose life was saved before he was born.

Through the Qr's of the campaign's marquees, we learn about other "stables" where life was born in spite of everything, as in the case of Lilianwhose daughter suffered a very serious infection when she was a small child that deprived her of the ability to walk, speak or eat, or the very birth of José Carlos Martínezwhose mother was going to abort it and, after talking to Dr. Jesús Poveda, went ahead with her pregnancy, and has not stopped being by her side since then.

Stories with which the ACdP reminds us that to welcome the Son of God is also to welcome the most vulnerable - be it the child they want to murder before birth or the homeless person who knocks on the door - and issues a challenge: "Do you still give a damn?
