Jerôme Lejeune (1926-94) has been declared Venerable. Paediatrician, geneticist, devout Catholic, he discovered the links to chromosome abnormalities. He was an ardent defender of life as he saw his work used by pro-abortionists to kill the unborn. Prophet of the sanctity of life pic.twitter.com/bp9s0Ker12
