EWTN Normalizes Liberal “Religious Freedom” Frame While Reporting Assisted Suicide Horror
EWTN News portal reports on a Canadian woman, Colleen De Vos, recounting her father’s 2023 death by Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program after being denied hospice care, juxtaposed with the Becket Fund’s legal challenge against New York’s assisted suicide law on “religious freedom” grounds. The article presents the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne and other conciliar entities as victims of state coercion, framing the conflict as a clash between “autonomy” and “conscience rights” within the secular legal order. **This liberal juridical framework implicitly legitimizes the anti-Christian state’s authority over life and death, surrendering the Social Kingship of Christ to the false god of religious liberty.**
