Pope Leo defends entering political fray over France end-of-life law
Original: Pope Leo defends entering political fray on France end-of-life law
Pope Leo has defended his decision to intervene in France's political debate over the country's proposed end-of-life law, arguing that questions of life and death are matters of moral concern for the Church. His comments come as France weighs legislation on assisted dying, a divisive issue nationally. The pope's stance has drawn attention because it represents an unusually direct papal entry into a specific national legislative fight.
Why now: France is debating end-of-life legislation and the pope's direct political intervention is unusual and contentious
