Dominican Father Augustine Di Noia, who has been undersecretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, told U.S. journalists Tuesday that the document will be a sequel to a similar position paper written about 20 years ago, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

The Church opposes embryonic stem cell research because it destroys human lives in the process.

Father Di Noia did not provide details about the document.
