EWTN portal reports that Father Larry Holland, a 79-year-old priest from Vancouver, was twice offered Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) by healthcare staff at Vancouver General Hospital while recovering from a hip fracture — despite their knowledge that he was a Catholic priest and morally opposed to euthanasia. The article details how a doctor raised the option of assisted death, framing it as a routine “service,” and how a nurse later made a second offer, which Holland described as “false compassion.” The piece further exposes the Canadian Association of MAID Assessors and Providers’ guidance, which explicitly warns healthcare professionals not to assume that Roman Catholics — including nuns — oppose euthanasia, and even recommends proactively initiating MAID discussions with eligible patients. The article also references the broader context of Canada’s escalating euthanasia deaths approaching 100,000, legislative attempts to curb coercive practices, and the testimony of a Catholic chaplain at VGH who described the constant struggle to help suffering patients not lose hope. While the article presents these facts with evident concern, it fails to identify the root cause: the systematic apostasy of the post-conciliar sect and its “clergy” from the immutable Catholic doctrine on the sanctity of life, the redemptive value of suffering, and the moral law — an apostasy that has created the spiritual vacuum in which such diabolical practices flourish unchallenged.
