Claim that a Chapel Replaced an Abortion Facility Denied

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- It made a nice story: A building where abortions used to be performed in a suburb of Buffalo, N.Y., becomes a Catholic chapel dedicated to the aborted children. The trouble is the building's only previous owners adamantly deny they ever rented space to anyone who performed abortions.

In mid-July Catholic News Service picked up and distributed internationally a story about the chapel that originally ran in the Western New York Catholic, the Buffalo diocesan newspaper. The story said a local independent Catholic radio station, WLOF-FM, had recently celebrated the dedication of a chapel in a building where abortions used to be performed. Bishop Edward U. Kmiec of Buffalo presided at the dedication.

The story ran in mid July here...and here.
