Pope Leo XIV condemns assisted dying as 'false compassion'

Original: Pope Leo XIV criticized the legalization of medically assisted dying, calling it immoral and an example of "false compas

Pope Leo XIV criticized the legalization of medically assisted dying, calling it immoral and an example of "false compassion." He made the remarks during a Sunday visit to Lourdes, the Catholic shrine in France known for miraculous cures of the sick. The comments came as debates over assisted dying laws continue in several countries, drawing reactions from both supporters of the Church's stance and advocates of legal euthanasia.

Why now: The Pope publicly waded into the live political debate over assisted dying laws during a high-profile pilgrimage to France.
