In brief<br />
Bishops warn<br />
Macron over<br />
euthanasia plan<br />
France’s <strong>Catholic</strong> bishops have<br />
warned President Macron’s<br />
government that “immoral<br />
legislation” to allow euthanasia<br />
risked overturning the country’s<br />
“ethical equilibrium”.<br />
They said that over decades, a<br />
balance has been found in<br />
avoiding relentless treatment<br />
and promoting palliative care –<br />
this ‘French path’ has gained a<br />
following and says something<br />
about our country’s ethical<br />
heritage,” the executive of the<br />
bishops’ conference said. “Our<br />
caregivers, who must face so<br />
many concrete difficulties<br />
sustaining our health system,<br />
often express how much they are<br />
attached to this balance – it gives<br />
honour to their profession and<br />
meaning to their commitment,”<br />
bishops said.<br />
“During the COVID-19 crisis,<br />
our society made weighty<br />
sacrifices to save lives,<br />
particularly of the most fragile,<br />
even over-isolating the sick or<br />
elderly to preserve their bodily<br />
health.<br />
“How can it be possible, just a<br />
few months after this great<br />
national mobilisation, that<br />
society now gives the impression<br />
of seeing no other answer to<br />
life's fragility than active help in<br />
dying and assisted suicide?” the<br />
bishops asked.<br />
The French government plans<br />
to legalise euthanasia by the end<br />
of 2023.<br />
Pope asks young to<br />
lead on climate<br />
