From Paglia to Pegoraro: PAV accommodates legalised suicide
Following his interview with the Italian bishops daily newspaper Avvenire, the president of the Pontifical Academy for Life (PAV) reiterated his support for a law on assisted suicide that would prevent a worse one, with even more clarity to the national newspaper Il Corriere. Former President of the PAV Monsignor Paglia took the same stance in an article in the daily La Repubblica. But, consenting to an unjust law is tantamount to betraying Catholic doctrine.
Euthanasia in France: conscientious objectors achieve well-deserved victory
The French Constitutional Council has upheld conscientious objection whilst confirming the unjust law that was forced through by Macron. This outcome was by no means guaranteed, thanks in part to the efforts of the French bishops, who have courageously and expertly defended non-negotiable principles in parliament.
Alois: the prince who champions life and defends children from abortion
In the principality, whose capital is Vaduz, centre-left and feminist groups have collected signatures for a referendum on the legalisation of abortion.

Vatican News endorses artificial fertilisation

Euthanasia: the French bishops’ resistance is a lesson for the Italian Bishops’ Conference
For years, the French episcopate has justified its opposition to the law on euthanasia and assisted suicide. Now that the law has been passed, the French bishops have issued an unequivocal condemnation. Some bishops have even warned pro-euthanasia MPs that they will not be permitted to receive Holy Communion. This stance is very different from that of the Italian Bishops' Conference (CEI), which favours a 'democratic' law
Hantavirus: Gavi’s ‘prophecy’ about the next pandemic
To date, no one has contracted Hantavirus from the nine people infected on the Hondius cruise ship. However, a massive alert and tracing operation is underway. This is the same virus found in mice that the Gavi Alliance predicted would cause the next pandemic in 2021.
Discoverer of Hantavirus speaks out: ‘Vaccine useless, irrational fear’
Extremely low viral load and unproven human-to-human transmission, yet extremely high pathogenicity. Above all, given the natural immunity derived from alpacas, a vaccine is completely useless. The Daily Compass interviews Juan Bertoglio, the immunologist who discovered the Andes strain of the Hantavirus 40 years ago. He explains that any attempt to instil panic is 'pure madness'.
Suicide following her son’s death: the slippery slope of euthanasia
Wendy Duffy, a 56-year-old British woman, died by assisted suicide in Switzerland. She made the drastic decision after losing her son in an accident, which is deeply troubling. If the mistaken premise that it is permissible to take one’s own life is accepted, there are no limits. Nonetheless, a way out exists.

United Kingdom: doctors withdraw treatment and call it natural death
Contrary to the wishes of his family, doctors suspended dialysis for RB, a stroke victim, without going through the courts, condemning him to a certain and rapid death.
