"No Catholic can responsibly take a 'pro-chance' stand when the 'choice' in question involves the taking of constant human life," the bishops said.
The resolution leaves little room for dissent.

BALTIMORE — The nation's Roman Catholic bishops fired up the battle over abortion yesterday, calling it "the fundamental human rights issue."
A resolution overwhelmingly approved on the second day of the bishops' fall meeting said abortion is not an issue of religion, but of the nation's largest religious group.

"We're killing babies. That's not a choice for anybody at any time," said Auxiliary Bishop Austin Vaughan of New York.

But a leader of a Catholic abortion rights group said the bishops' reentry into the political battle over abortion would backfire.
Some bishops think the nuclear arms race and the environment are important issues, said Auxiliary Bishop Peter A. Rosazza of Hartford, Conn.
The bishops' renewed activism on abortion follows a Supreme Court ruling this summer that allowed states to set new limits on access to abortion.
Among the changes the College Assembly approved yesterday was the elimination of the non-thesis master's degree for theater and

issue" came a day after Archbishop John May of St. Louis, the outgoing conference president, urged in his opening address, "Don't forget the baby."
The bishops elected Archbishop Daniel Piarczyk of Cincinnati to a three-year term as president of the Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Other changes included course deletions, course additions, changes of course titles and prerequisites in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Terry Slocum, chairman of the committee on graduate studies, asked for curriculum changes that would affect the departments of theater and film, linguistics, philosophy and political science.
Tom Beissecker, chairman of the committee on undergraduate studies and advising, asked for curricular changes that would affect the departments of biological sciences, chemistry, East Asian language and culture, history, philosophy, political science and sociology.
Some courses in these departments will change prerequisites or titles. Also, new courses will be added.
Beiseker said the committee had planned to ask for the approval of a new program for an environmental studies major but had decided to wait until further investigation had been completed.
"There have been quite a few questions since the agenda was published," he said. "We would like to defer this until later."
All reports and requests were approved without discussion.
'Night Stalker' gets death sentence
If a quorum of 10 percent was required to hold a meeting, the 600-member Assembly would not have been able to approve anything at the meeting. Only 35 members attended the meeting.

LOS' ANGELES — Richard Ramirez, the satanic "Night Stalker" who butchered or raped more than a dozen people in a spree that terrorized Southern California in 1985, was sentenced yesterday to death in the gas chamber.
Before he was sentenced, the 29-year-old Texas killer, wearing dark glasses, uttered a rambling, nearly inaudible statement in court that ended with the words: "Lucifer dwells within us all."
"You don't understand . . . and you are not expected to; you are not capable of it," he said. "I am beyond your experience. I am beyond doing evil. Legions of the night, night breed. Repeat not the errors of the Night Stalker, and show no mercy. I will be avenged."
Big deal, death comes with the territory. See you in Disneyland.'
— Richard Ramirez convicted murderer
The sentence, pronounced by Superior Court Judge Michael A. Tynan, carries an automatic appeal.
The killer, who entered unlocked houses late at night to murder people in their beds and beat others and demand money, was convicted Sept. 20 of 13 murders and 30 other felonies, including rape, burglary and sodomy.
He often left satanic symbols scrawled at the scenes of his crimes and in at least one instance, gouged
The jury recommended Oct. 4 that he be sentenced to death. Jurors, some of whom said they felt the defendant tried to intimidate them during the trial by sneering and glaring at them, returned death penalty recommendations on each of 19 special circumstance counts.
out the eyes of a victim. During his preliminary hearing, he appeared in court one day with a pentagram drawn on the palm of his hand and flashed to its reporters as he said: "Hall Satan!"
A snarling, gravely voiced Ramirez had earlier sneered at the possibility of being sentenced to death.
Rain forest damage declines in Brazil
The Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Increased government control and inspection has caused a significant decline in the destruction of the Amazon rain forest, Brazil's top environmental official said yesterday.
"We're still waiting for the final numbers, but we estimate the devastation will be 30 percent less than in 1988. The results are not optimal, but they are very good," said Fernando Cesar Mesquite, the president of the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources.
"Regrettably, we didn't get any help," he said.
The destruction could have been curbed even more, Messuita said, if the United States, Britain, France, Italy and West Germany had provided requested aid for ecological protection.
The institute was founded earlier this year amid an international outcry over the devastation of Brazil's 2
He said he couldn't get the equipment from his own government, "because Brazil just doesn't have the money." However, he said, Brazilian sources provided five patrol helicopters that were instrumental in spotting unauthorized tree cutting and burning.
million-square-mile Amazon jungle, the world's largest. Mesquita said he went to the United States and Europe to seek money for radar-mapping equipment, patrol helicopters, patrol boats, four-wheel drive vehicles and telecommunications gear.
Last year, illegal land clearing by farmers, ranchers, prospectors and peasant settlers wrecked about $5,350 in forest, according to the government.
The institute, which supervises only 612 forest rangers in a region about half the size of Europe, summarily removed local forest officials
The heaviest rains in more than five years also helped save Amazonian trees from being burned, Mesquita said.
suspected of corruption and protecting landowners who were destroying the ecology, Mesquita said. Inspectors discovered 300,000 acres of illegally cleared jungle land from Aug. 1 to Nov. 3 and levied fines of about $16 million.
The situation is very difficult." Mesquita said. "We are up against powerful interests. They try to buy off forest officials, and when that doesn't work they threaten to kill them."
He said one federal official on an inspection mission was killed this year, others were shot at or intimidated.
Also hindering environmental control are the growing cocaine trade, landless peasants, rough free lance and "snister bureaucracy," he said.
Amazon protection will be "a bit potato" for Brazil's next president, Mesquita said. President Jose Saney, who has announced wide-ranging pro-ecology measures, leaves office in March.
