I’ve been trying hard to figure out just what was left out of this article.
The Catholic teaching is that only God decides when someone dies naturally. That means that if a truly brain dead patient is on a machine to keep him alive, it’s OK to take him off the machine. He is dead. So why keep him breathing, etc.
However, the church is very much against killing anyone who is alive.
Plain and simple. Surely the writer has something wrong about the Bishop’s statement.
Some writers always manage to find “something wrong” with someone else’s very clear statements.
For some of them, it is the only way they know how to make a living: twisting another persons words, adding an ill considered opinion, in order to create a false controversy.
And hope they get paid by the word count...
