Blogger Comment: “Thou shalt not kill,” but where most of our westen politicians (except three) have forgotten about this 1st law for humanity, but why…possibly because they are all now mainly controlled and where all our western leaders are by the Davos Globalists who believe in the mass depopulation of humanity down to a mere 400 milion after 2030 and where they have stated this many times since 1971 in Davos since 1971…evil…pure evil I would say that these these people really are…

French Bishop Marc Aillet has warned that Catholic lawmakers who vote to legalize “assisted suicide” place themselves in direct conflict with Church teaching and should not receive Holy Communion if they recognize that contradiction.

Aillet, the bishop of Bayonne, Lescar, and Oloron, issued the warning ahead of a July 15 vote in the French National Assembly on legislation to legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide.

France’s National Assembly gave final approval Wednesday to allow the government to euthanize members of the public, the culmination of years of debate over end-of-life care.

But the 291-241 vote in the lower house of parliament doesn’t mean the bill immediately becomes law.

There will be a review to determine if it complies with the French Constitution.

The National Assembly approved the measure after backing it in three previous readings.

French President Emmanuel Macron announced the legislation more than three years ago.

“In 2022, I committed to opening this path with the French people,” Macron said in a message posted on X.

“With seriousness, with humility, and with full respect for our democracy, that commitment has been fulfilled.”

Bishop Warns Lawmakers Against Backing Euthanasia

“The issue of euthanasia or assisted suicide is not merely a matter of religious belief,” Aillet told France Catholique.

“It touches on natural law – that is, the foundation of respect for all human life in a civilized society.”

Aillet said Catholic politicians cannot separate their public votes from the moral obligations of their faith.

“When a member of Congress identifies as Catholic while supporting legislation that authorizes the taking of life, he objectively places himself in opposition not only to the Church’s constant teaching but also to a fundamental principle of human reason,” he said.

“The instruction Samaritanus Bonus, published by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, clearly reaffirmed that euthanasia is ‘an intrinsically evil act, regardless of the circumstances,’” Aillet continued.

“A Catholic engaged in public life cannot ignore this.”

Asked whether Catholic legislators who support the bill would face consequences, Aillet said they must examine whether their conduct is consistent with the faith they profess.

“Everyone must examine their conscience to ensure consistency between their actions and the faith they profess,” he said.

“Public support for a law that is seriously contrary to the Church’s moral teaching poses a real problem of ecclesial coherence.”

“Catholic lawmakers who have voted for this bill must weigh its consequences,” Aillet added.

“If they are aware of this inconsistency, they will no longer be able to receive Communion.”

“The Church is justified in reminding them of this, as some bishops have done in the United States,” he said.

“I would like to invite them to a sincere examination of conscience.

“Do we have the right to make the deliberate taking of a human life a response to suffering?”

French Parliament Prepares for Crucial Vote

France has been locked in a prolonged political battle over assisted suicide.

The French Senate narrowly rejected the government’s “end-of-life bill” for the third time, but the legislation is now returning to the National Assembly, where it is expected to pass.

Because the National Assembly has the final say when the two chambers remain deadlocked, the proposal would likely become law if lawmakers approve it on July 15.

In a May statement titled “Thou shalt not kill,” Aillet called on Catholics to pray, fast, and engage directly in the political process to defend the prohibition against intentionally killing human beings.

Church Urges Compassion Without Accepting Assisted Suicide

Aillet also addressed the spiritual condition of people who request assisted suicide, emphasizing that the Church condemns the act while still considering the intense suffering that may weaken a person’s freedom.

“The Church continues to affirm that suicide remains objectively contrary to the will of God, who is the master of life,” he said.

“But she also takes concrete situations into account.

“Suffering, loneliness, depression, and family or social pressures are sometimes so intense that they can profoundly impair a person’s freedom.

“This is why pastoral discernment is essential.”

Aillet said priests should guide suffering people toward hope rather than affirming their desire to die.

“The priest’s role is to help the person rediscover hope, be reconciled with God, and renounce their plan,” he said.

“This spiritual accompaniment consists of helping them choose life until its natural end, never of condoning a lethal act.”

He said decisions involving Christian funerals must also be handled carefully.

“Regarding Christian funerals, each situation must be examined with caution,” Aillet stated.

“The Church takes many factors into account, particularly any signs of repentance before death.

“Nothing should be done that would suggest the Church approves of euthanasia.”

“A Society Weakens When It Presents Death as a Solution”

Aillet concluded that the debate is not merely political or medical but fundamentally spiritual.

“A society weakens when it presents death as a solution,” the bishop said.

“Christ came ‘so that people might have life, and have it in abundance.’

“It is this hope that the Church will continue to proclaim, regardless of legislative changes.”
