The Vatican’s doctrinal chief has told Canadian Catholics that “we shall prevail” in opposing legalised euthanasia.
Cardinal Gerhard Müller addressed an audience of bioethicists, theologians, doctors and nurses at Toronto’s St Michael’s Cathedral Basilica last week.
The prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith said Canada’s turn to legalised euthanasia was “tragic”.
“Euthanasia not only constitutes a grave wrong in itself, but its legalisation creates toxic and deadly social pathologies that disproportionately afflict the weakest members of society,” he said.
