Global Expansion of Assisted Suicide in 2025: Apostasy Against Divine Law
The Catholic News Agency portal reports that 2025 saw multiple U.S. states (Delaware, Illinois, New York, Colorado) and nations (France, United Kingdom, Uruguay, Canada) advance legislation to expand physician-assisted suicide. The article notes opposition from Catholic leaders such as “Cardinal Timothy Dolan” and “Catholic Conference of Illinois,” alongside lawsuits from disability advocates alleging discrimination. Canada’s Cardus Health report revealed disproportionate euthanasia rates among the disabled and mentally ill. The portal frames these developments neutrally, omitting any condemnation of the spiritual consequences of suicide or the Church’s immutable teachings on the sanctity of life.
Legalization of Murder Under the Guise of “Compassion”
The so-called “Medical Aid in Dying Act” laws violate the Fifth Commandment’s “Thou shalt not kill” (Exodus 20:13) and the Church’s eternal condemnation of suicide as a “crime against life itself and against God” (Catechism of St. Pius X). Pius XII’s 1957 allocution to anesthesiologists explicitly forbade euthanasia: “No one is permitted to ask for this act of killing…nor can any authority legitimately recommend or permit such an action.” The article’s clinical term “physician-assisted suicide” sanitizes what is in truth state-sanctioned homicide, echoing the eugenic logic of Weimar Germany’s 1920 euthanasia debates.
The Silence on Supernatural Realities: A Modernist Omission
Nowhere does the article mention the eternal damnation risked by those who choose suicide or the moral cooperation in evil by legislators and physicians. This omission reflects the conciliar sect’s abandonment of de fide teachings on hell and judgment. Compare this with the 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 2350 §2), which excommunicated those who performed euthanasia, and Pope Innocent III’s decree (Maiores Ecclesiae causas, 1206) denying Christian burial to suicides. The portal’s reference to “Catholic leaders” opposing the laws on purely humanitarian grounds—without invoking eternal truths—exposes their functional atheism. When “Cardinal Dolan” calls assisted suicide “a disaster waiting to happen,” he reduces it to a policy failure rather than a defiance of God’s sovereignty over life and death (Job 1:21).
Assisted Suicide as Collective Apostasy Against the Divine Law
The global push for euthanasia manifests the “mystery of iniquity” (2 Thessalonians 2:7) foretold in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864), which condemned the belief that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55). By legalizing murder, these regimes reject Christ’s kingship proclaimed in Quas Primas (1925): “When men recognize…the royal prerogatives of Christ…it will be possible to heal many wounds.” Canada’s 2012 MAID law—now harvesting the disabled and mentally ill—fulfills Pius XI’s warning in Divini Redemptoris (1937) about states that “deny the very principles of reason and Christian conscience.”
The Conciliar Sect’s Complicity in Culture of Death
The article’s reference to opposition from “Catholic bishops” rings hollow when post-conciliar leaders have long undermined resistance to euthanasia. Consider Paul VI’s 1968 Humanae Vitae dissenters, who normalized defiance of moral teachings, or John Paul II’s 1995 Evangelium Vitae §73, which praised “democratic regimes” while they legalized abortion nationwide. When Bergoglio (“Francis”) called euthanasia victims “martyrs of globalization” (2022), he aestheticized murder rather than condemning it. True shepherds would excommunicate pro-euthanasia politicians—as St. Ambrose barred Emperor Theodosius from Communion after the Thessalonica massacre (390 AD)—but today’s “bishops” issue mere press releases.
Conclusion: Only the Reign of Christ the King Offers Deliverance
These laws are not isolated policy failures but fruits of the conciliar revolution’s rejection of the Social Kingship of Christ. As Leo XIII taught in Immortale Dei (1885), “States cannot…be governed without God and the natural law He ordained.” The solution lies not in lawsuits or lobbying but in restoring public allegiance to Christ through the Mass of Ages, Eucharistic reparation, and the Rosary. Until nations kneel before the Rex Regum, such horrors will escalate—for “unless the Lord guard the city, in vain do the watchmen keep vigil” (Psalm 127:1).
