Pope Leo XIV condemns assisted dying during landmark France visit

Original: Pope Leo XIV on Sunday said assisted dying was not "normal", as he continued a landmark visit to France, where parliamen

Pope Leo XIV said on Sunday that assisted dying was not "normal", speaking during his landmark visit to France. His comments come as the French parliament has legalised the practice for certain patients, placing the pontiff in direct tension with French law. The remarks drew attention as the visit highlighted the clash between Catholic teaching and France's secular legislation on end-of-life care.

Why now: The Pope's comments directly challenge France's recent legalisation of assisted dying during a high-profile visit.
