Another Apostate "Catholic," Gov. Of New York, K. Hochul, Will Sign Dangerous Bill To Legalize Assisted Suicide!

 The legislation, passed by lawmakers earlier this year, would make New York one of a dozen states plus the District of Columbia permitting the deadly practice.

I have said this many times before: Apostate "Catholics" are the most venomous, despicable enemies of Christ!

Hochul is truly evil and wicked and apparently cares nothing about where she will spend eternity!!

From lifenews.com and written by Steven Ertelt  |   Dec 17, 2025   |   12:22PM   |  Albany, New York: New York Governor Kathy Hochul Will Sign Dangerous Bill to Legalize Assisted Suicide - LifeNews.com

"New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Wednesday that she will sign dangerous legislation legalizing assisted suicide.

That’s a move pro-life and disability rights advocates warn endangers the state’s most vulnerable citizens, discriminates against the disabled and opens the door to future expansions of state-sanctioned death.

Hochul, a Catholic, said she has reached an agreement with legislative leaders to add supposed “guardrails” to the Medical Aid in Dying Act before signing it into law next year. However pro-life groups warn that such limits have eventually been abused or removed in other states and countries, leading to euthanasia and pressure to die.

In an op-ed, Hochul described the measure as providing “a merciful option” for those in pain, writing, “I was taught that God is merciful and compassionate, and so must we be. This includes permitting a merciful option to those facing the unimaginable and searching for comfort in their final months in this life.”

Hochul makes no mention of pain relief or other measures to reduce or eliminate pain.

Critics, including the New York State Catholic Conference, condemned the decision, arguing it abandons the vulnerable.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan and New York’s bishops stated that Hochul’s position “signals our government’s abandonment of its most vulnerable citizens, telling people who are sick or disabled that suicide in their case is not only acceptable, but is encouraged by our elected leaders.”

Assemblyman Joe Sempolinski, a Republican and father of a daughter with developmental disabilities, called the impending signing “an abominable decision.”

“Tragically, Governor Hochul has decided to sign assisted suicide into law in the State of New York,” Sempolinski said. “This is an abominable decision that I fear will lead to the destruction of the most vulnerable among us, especially the developmentally disabled. … As the father of a daughter with a developmental disability, I fear that legalized assisted suicide will eventually be abused to harm the disabled. … The answer is not suicide. I stand for life.”

Jessica Rodgers, coalitions director for the Patients’ Rights Action Fund, criticized the governor’s amendments as insufficient, stating that the legislation remains inherently discriminatory.

“She, correctly, understood that the legislation was weak and would harm New Yorkers,” Rodgers said. “Unfortunately, her proposed amendments do nothing to change the inherent discrimination in the bill. Assisted suicide policy is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.”

Rodgers praised the bipartisan coalition that fought the bill, noting it passed by a slim margin despite heavy lobbying against it, and vowed continued legal challenges.

Assisted suicide advocates have openly admitted plans to broaden the law once enacted.

A spokesperson for the New York State Catholic Conference responded: “The physician-assisted suicide lobby finally said the quiet part out loud — admitting they will immediately push for expansions of any law Governor Hochul might consider signing. … The only way to prevent the ongoing expansion of a suicide mentality is to veto this bill because once the assisted suicide door is opened, it only opens wider.”

The legislation, passed by lawmakers earlier this year, would make New York one of a dozen states plus the District of Columbia permitting the deadly practice."

Pray for the defeat of these modernist monsters, and for their conversion to the Catholic Faith!

Pro-Abortion Lesbian Rachel Maddow Says She’s Returned To The Catholic Church, Cites Francis And Leo!

 I'm going to let this article speak for itself...

Far-left pundit Rachel Maddow claims she’s ‘back in the faith.’ But she hasn’t returned to the true Catholic faith as it has been understood and practiced for two millennia.

From lifesitenews.com and written by Charles Richards Wed Dec 17, 2025 - 1:36 pm EST: Pro-abortion lesbian Rachel Maddow says she’s returned to the Catholic Church, cites Francis and Leo - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — On December 13, a Substack blog run by liberal Catholic activist Christopher Hale reported that far-left commentator Rachel Maddow had publicly announced her purported return to the Catholic faith. Audio of Maddow’s remarks released by MS NOW confirm the news.

While the development is striking given Maddow’s long-standing public opposition to Catholic moral teaching, the question that now needs asking is: to which “Church” has Maddow returned to?

Now 52, Maddow was raised in a Catholic household but for decades has lived in defiance of the faith. She herself has been in a homosexual “marriage” since 1999. Throughout her career, she has vigorously advocated for unrestricted abortion access, open border immigration policies, and, more recently, “gender transitioning” children — all off which stand in direct contradiction to perennial Catholic moral teaching.

Maddow made her comments while speaking with Timothy Snyder at the Harris Theater in Chicago on November 21. The two were talking about the Trump administration. Click here to listen. Maddow’s remarks are relevant not just because of who she is but because there are many fallen away liberal Catholics like her who have warmed to what the Vatican has been promoting in recent years.

During her conversation with Snyder, Maddow praises both Francis and Leo XIV for their emphasis on solidarity with migrants. Maddow also said she was inspired by a recent outdoor Mass held by left-wing clergy at an ICE facility in Illinois. “I was born and raised in a conservative Catholic family… after having not considered myself [Catholic] for some time, I do consider myself to be back in the faith,” she remarked. Again the question must be asked: to what faith (and Church) is she coming back to?

In her youth, Maddow would have experienced the Church as it was under John Paul II. Among other things, John Paul founded the Pontifical Academy for Life to combat the “culture of death” — abortion, euthanasia, and similar barbaric practices. He also opposed “women’s ordination” and consistently defended Catholic moral teaching on gender. His policies were continued by Benedict XVI after his death in 2005. But it must be admitted that much of what the Vatican defended back then is now no longer what those in Rome today consider to be a top priority.

Over the past 12 years, Francis and Leo have elevated women to prominent positions in Vatican governance. They have also emphasized climate activism, aligned the Church with the sustainability goals of the United Nations, and made immigration a top-level concern. Moreover, under Francis, gender-confused persons and pro-LGBT clergy were routinely welcomed to the Vatican and even promoted in the Church. Cardinals Cupich, McElroy, Gregory, and Tobin, for instance, all rose to prominence during Francis’ tenure — and all of them have given both direct and indirect support to pro-LGBT priests.

Also over the past 12 years, Jesuit universities, left-wing Catholic media outlets, pro-“female priest” groups, and radical clergy have not only been allowed to spout their heresies but have even been encouraged to do so. Most recently, in the Archdiocese of New York, an active homosexual ABC News reporter was confirmed in St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Bishop Joseph Strickland called on his fellow clergy to denounce what took place during the USCCB’s meeting last month, but they refused to say a word. What’s more, in the Diocese of Lexington, a gender-confused female is living as a male hermit under the protection of Bishop John Stowe.

All of this is to say that there is a de facto parallel structure within the institutional Church that allows someone like Maddow to carve out a comfortable “Catholic” identity while not needing to abandon her leftist views and non-Catholic personal life. This structure is reinforced by pro-LGBT parishes, left-wing priests, heterodox websites and media outlets, and bishops who promote gender ideology under the guise of “accompanying” people “in their faith journey.”

Maddow’s alleged reversion fits neatly within this subculture of so-called liberal Catholicism. She isn’t so much embracing the true faith as it has been understood and practiced for two millennia but rather she, like many lapsed self-identified Catholic leftists these past 12 years, is merely embracing a modernized, rainbow-tinted knock off version of it that does not call souls to undergo a radical conversion of self-denial but confirms them in their non-Catholic lifestyles. Catholics should pray that souls who are caught in this deceitful system are freed from its lies and are moved to wholeheartedly embrace the true faith and live according to its teachings."

COMMUNIST Hong Kong Convicts Catholic Freedom Advocate Jimmy Lai Amid Serious Health Concerns!

 That's right, Hong Kong is now and has been a communist colony since 1997 when the stupid British relinquished their right to the colony on July 1, 1997 -- after 156 years of British rule!

Hong Kong's prosperity and freedom were crushed and extinguished.

(If you want to know what life is like in Hong Kong these days, just ask Cardinal Zen!

Cardinal Zen is just one of many faithful Catholics who were forced underground, imprisoned and tortured because of the diabolical 2018 "agreement" between apostate Rome and the Red Chinese Communists!)

Now, Jimmy Lai is expected to receive a life sentence for ‘sedition,’ and the 78-year-old is reportedly at ‘serious risk of dying in prison’ after years of enduring solitary confinement in horrific conditions.

From lifesitenews.com and written by Calvin Freiburger Mon Dec 15, 2025 - 4:42 pm EST: Hong Kong convicts Catholic freedom advocate Jimmy Lai amid serious health concerns - LifeSite

"HONG KONG (LifeSiteNews) — A Hong Kong court has found pro-democracy activist, businessman, former newspaper owner, and Catholic convert Jimmy Lai guilty of charges of sedition and violating the controversial National Security Law (NSL), for which he could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Lai, a British national who founded the pro-democracy, anti-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) tabloid Apple Daily in 1995 (the paper was forced to shut down in 2021), was put on trial starting in December 2023 on charges of “collusion with foreign forces” and the promotion of “seditious publications” in violation of the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC’s) 2020 NSL. He had been previously sentenced to a six-year jail term and HK$2 million in fines in December 2022 allegedly for “fraud.”

“My father is suffering from rapidly deteriorating health,” the 78-year-old Lai’s daughter Claire has written. “He has diabetes and hypertension, his hearing and vision are failing, he has suffered from months-long infections and is in constant pain that sometimes leaves him struggling even to stand up. But the most visible and alarming sign of his plight is severe weight loss.” She went on to detail how he has been denied sunlight, fresh air, and Holy Communion.

Now, CNN reports that the judges who delivered the verdict claim there was “no doubt that [Lai] had harbored his resentment and hatred of the PRC for many of his adult years,” as demonstrated by his lobbying of the first Trump administration to side with the people of Hong Kong against Beijing, including meetings with former Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, his online communications with other pro-democracy activists, and his public advocacy of revoking student visas for the children of Chinese government officials.

“We are satisfied that [Lai] was the mastermind of the conspiracies” with which he was charged, they said, and that his “only intent … was to seek the downfall” of the CCP.

Lai’s sentencing will not be announced until a later date, but he is not expected to receive anything less than life in prison.

Lai’s son Sebastien Lai is urging the British government to try to make his father’s freedom a condition of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s desire for closer relations with China.

“Close relationships with China… If that’s what you want, then fine, but there should be preconditions, and my father’s release needs to be a precondition of that, because we’re never going to normalise… a citizen of ours getting arrested abroad for standing up for freedom of democracy,” he said. “Now’s the time to push for action, not words.”

“The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) hates Jimmy Lai because he is an example of the history of so many of Hong Kong’s population,” responded Lord Patten of Barnes, the last British Governor of Hong Kong and Patron of Hong Kong Watch. “He stowed away to escape communist rule in mainland China and enjoyed economic and political freedom in what was then a British colony. He became a passionate advocate for the freedoms which made Hong Kong such a successful example of the partnership between economic and political freedom.”

“What the Communists really hated about him was that, even when he could have left Hong Kong in 1997 for Britain, as a citizen here, or for other countries, he chose to stay behind alongside the people of Hong Kong whose human rights he had so long defended and written about,” he continued. “Beijing, and the puppet government in Hong Kong, hates in particular those who have bravely stood up to it.”

“I hope that all in the rest of the world who believe in freedom will call frequently and loudly for his release from captivity,” he added. “The Catholic Church should also raise in particular the refusal to allow him in prison to practice as a Catholic.”

“The conviction of Jimmy Lai makes a mockery of justice and signals the end of any confidence in the Hong Kong judicial system,” Reggie Littlejohn, the president of Women’s Rights Without Frontiers and Anti-Globalist International, told LifeSiteNews. “The Hong Kong National Security Law, imposed by the Chinese Communist Party, has at its aim, the death of dissent, the dismantling of opposition, and the rendering of nonviolent political activism essentially impossible. The fact that the CCP has criminalized peaceful free speech and international advocacy as national security threats points to the vulnerability of the regime.”

“Jimmy Lai is 78 years old and has endured solitary confinement for five years,” she continued. “Reportedly, the temperature in his cell can reach 111 degrees Fahrenheit (44 degrees Celsius) in the summer. He has diabetes as well as heart and blood pressure issues. Recent reports state that he has suffered dramatic weight loss, and that he is losing his teeth and nails. He is at serious risk of dying in prison unless the international community rises immediately to his defense.”

Littlejohn called upon Starmer and President Donald Trump to “hold the CCP accountable by prioritizing negotiations for Mr. Lai’s release on the basis of medical and humanitarian concerns, warning of the imposition of sanctions should Mr. Lai remain in custody. I call upon the U.S. legislature and governing bodies around the world to do the same. Jimmy Lai no longer belongs just to Hong Kong. He belongs to the world. Hong Kong’s National Security Law was designed to chill any criticism of the CCP. May the CCP be scorched by a firestorm of criticism from every corner of the earth for its appalling abuse of the incomparable hero and prisoner of conscience, Jimmy Lai.”

Anti-Globalist International is circulating a petition urging Trump, Starmer, and other world leaders to take action to set Lai free.

“By shining a light on the human rights atrocities of the Chinese Communist Party, Jimmy Lai has become a beacon of hope for the people of Hong Kong and the world,” it reads. “He has sacrificed his own personal freedom for that of his beloved Hong Kong. He is a man of heroic virtue and towering moral excellence. The CCP is doing everything it can to extinguish the man and snuff out the hope. We must not allow this to happen.”

“President Trump, Prime Minister Starmer and other World Leaders – including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Members of the United States Congress, Members of the European Parliament, United Nations Human Rights Council, United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture, and the Secretariat of State of the Holy See — we appeal to you to take urgent action to free Jimmy Lai,” the petition implores. “If he is not freed soon, we are concerned that he will die in jail.”'

End of horrific information...

Please pray for Jimmy Lai!

St. Lucy Was Persecuted And Put To Death For Maintaining Her Purity For Jesus’ Sake

 From lifesitenews.com by Dom Prosper Guéranger Sat Dec 13, 2025 - 12:01 am EST: St. Lucy was persecuted and put to death for maintaining her purity for Jesus’ sake - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — There comes to us today the fourth of our wise virgins, the valiant martyr Lucy. Her glorious name shines on the sacred Dyptich of the Canon of the Mass together with those of Agatha, Agnes, and Cecilia; and as often as we hear it pronounced during these days of Advent, it reminds us (for Lucy signifies Light) that He who consoles the Church, by enlightening her children, is soon to be with us.

Lucy is one of the three glories of the Church of Sicily; as Catania is immortalized by Agatha, and Palermo by Rosaly, so is Syracuse by Lucy. Therefore, let us devoutly keep her feast: she will aid us by her prayers during this holy season, and will repay our love by obtaining for us a warmer love of that Jesus whose grace enabled her to conquer the world. Once more let us consider why Our Lord has not only given us apostles, martyrs, and bishops as guides to us on our road to Bethlehem, but has willed also that we should be accompanied thither by such virgins as Lucy. The children of the Church are forcibly reminded by this, that in approaching the crib of their Sovereign Lord and God, they must bring with them, besides their faith, that purity of mind and body without which no one can come near to God. Let us now read the glorious acts of the virgin Lucy.

Lucy, a virgin of Syracuse, illustrious by birth and by the Christian faith, which she had professed from her infancy, went to Catania, with her mother Eutychia, who was suffering from a flux of blood, there to venerate the body of the blessed Agatha. Having prayed fervently at the tomb, she obtained her mother’s cure by the intercession of Agatha. Lucy then asked her mother that she would permit her to bestow upon the poor of Christ the fortune which she intended to leave her. No sooner, therefore, had she returned to Syracuse, than she sold all that was given to her, and distributed the money amongst the poor.

When he to whom her parents had, against her will, promised her in marriage, came to know what Lucy had done, he went before the prefect in Paschasius, and accused her of being a Christian. Paschasius entreated and threatened, but could not induce her to worship the idols; nay, the more he strove to shake her faith, the more inflamed were the praises which she uttered in professing its excellence. He said, therefore, to her: ‘We shall have no more of thy words, when thou feelest the blows of my executioners.’ To this the virgin replied: ‘Words can never be wanting to God’s servants, for Christ Our Lord has said to them: When you shall be brought before kings and governors, take no thought how or what to speak; for it shall be given to you in that hour what to speak; for it is not you that speak, but the Holy Spirit that speaketh in you.’

Paschasius then asked her: ‘Is the Holy Spirit in thee?’ She answered: ‘They who live chastely and piously, are the temple of the Holy Spirit.’ He said: ‘I will order thee to be taken to a brothel, that this Holy Spirit may leave thee.’ The virgin said to him: ‘The violence wherewith thou threatenest me would obtain for me a double crown of chastity.’ Whereupon Paschasius, being exceeding angry, ordered Lucy to be dragged to a place where her treasure might be violated; but, by the power of God, so firmly was she fixed to the place where she stood, that it was impossible to move her. Wherefore the prefect ordered her to be covered over with pitch, resin, and boiling oil, and a fire to be kindled round her. But seeing that the flame was not permitted to hurt her, they tormented her in many cruel ways, and at length ran a sword through her neck.

Thus wounded, Lucy foretold the peace of the Church, which would come after the deaths of Dioclesian and Maximian, and then died. It was the Ides of December (December 13). Her body was buried at Syracuse, but was translated thence first to Constantinople, and afterwards to Venice.

We here give some of the Antiphons which occur in the Office of the saint: they form a lyric poem of great beauty.

As Lucy was praying, there appeared unto her the blessed Agatha, and she comforted the handmaid of Christ.

O virgin Lucy! Why askest thou of me, what thyself canst straightaways grant unto thy mother?

Because of thee, O virgin Lucy! the city of Syracuse shall be honored by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Words of Lucy: I bless thee, the Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, because by thy Son the fire was quenched that was around me.

In thy patience thou didst possess thy soul, O Lucy, Spouse of Christ! Thou didst hate the things that are in the world, and thou shinest among the angels. Thou didst conquer the enemy by thine own blood.

We present ourselves before thee, O virgin martyr, beseeching thee to obtain for us that we may recognize in His lowliness that same Jesus whom thou now seest in His glory. Take us under thy powerful patronage. Thy name signifies light; guide us through the dark night of this life. O fair Light of Virginity! enlighten us; evil concupiscence has wounded our eyes: pray for us, O thou bright Light of Virginity! that our blindness be healed, and that rising above created things, we may be able to see that true Light, which shineth in darkness, but which darkness cannot comprehend.

Pray for us, that our eye may be purified, and may see, in the child who is to be born at Bethlehem, the new man, the second Adam, the model on which the life of our regeneration must be formed. Pray, too, O holy virgin, for the Church of Rome and for all those which adopt her form of the Holy Sacrifice; for they daily pronounce at the altar of God thy sweet name, and the Lamb, who is present, loves to hear it.

Heap thy choicest blessings on the fair isle, which was thy native land, and where grew the palm of thy martyrdom. May thy intercession secure to her inhabitants firmness of faith, purity of morals, and temporal prosperity, and deliver them from the disorders which threaten her with destruction."

Former Abortion Clinic Worker: Women Deliver Fully Formed Babies, Flush Them Down The Toilet!!!

 WARNING!  WARNING!  WARNING!

BEWARE -- THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES THE HORRENDOUS MURDER OF PRE-BORN BABIES AND THE COLD-HEARTED TREATMENT -- EVEN IF BORN ALIVE!

BEWARE!

From lifenews.com and written by Steven Ertelt  |   Dec 11, 2025   |   2:30PM   |  Washington, DC: Former Abortion Clinic Worker: Women Deliver Fully Formed Babies, Flush Them Down the Toilet - LifeNews.com

"A former Planned Parenthood director who spent 17 years working at abortion clinics has come forward with harrowing accounts of women delivering fully formed babies after taking abortion pills.

She says they are told to flush the remains down the toilet, confirming the abortion procedure’s deadly toll on unborn children and its devastating physical and emotional harm to mothers.

Mayra Rodriguez, who directed Planned Parenthood clinics in Texas and New Mexico, shared her experiences in a video testimony released Thursday by the group Stop Coerced Abortion. Rodriguez, now a witness in a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz accusing the state of coercing women into abortions in violation of their 14th Amendment rights and the Equal Protection Clause for unborn children, described the abortion pill regimen. She said mifepristone, followed by misoprostol, starves the unborn child to death by cutting off nutrients before inducing labor to expel the remains of the baby.

“The phone calls that strike me the most were the clients with the abortion pills that will call me in the middle of the night and said, ‘So you guys told me to push a blood clot on the toilet, and I tried to do that, but I didn’t make it, and it’s not a blood clot, it’s actually a baby. So what do I do?'” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez recounted instructing distraught women to dispose of the babies despite their visible humanity.

“You’re instructed to tell them to go ahead and grab it and throw it in the toilet, and flush.. and don’t look,” she said.

Women often responded in tears, protesting, “But, you told me it was just a blood clot, but I can actually see the hands, the feet, the face.’ And they will be crying.”

Rodriguez also revealed that abortion pills were sometimes distributed without verifying pregnancy stages and were even slipped into women’s drinks unknowingly, likening the practice to the “back alley abortions” it was meant to prevent.

In one chilling incident, she described a baby who survived an abortion attempt being taken to a room for “products of conception” and left to die.

She further disclosed that clinic staff were directed not to probe signs of human trafficking among patients.

Reflecting on her career, Rodriguez expressed profound regret.

“You understand that what you have been selling has never been freedom, not for the mother and not for the child. What you have been selling, it’s pain and darkness, and it’s bloody. And it’s all about money in realizing that for 17 years, I helped no one. I helped no one, but I destroyed many,” she said."'

Pray for an end of abortion and other pagan practices appeasing the father of lies and murder, Satan.

Pray too for strength and honor!

MADMAN! Illinois Gov. Pritzker Signs Assisted Suicide Into Law On Feast Of Our Lady Of Guadalupe!!!

 I previously posted this: 

Notice How The Monstrous Attacks On The True Catholic Church Have Happened Either On Or Around The Feast Of The Immaculate Conception (Dec. 8th)?

Well, here is more proof that the haters of Our Lady -- and her God-Man Son -- want to rub more salt into the wound of the weakened, new, synodal church -- formerly known as the true Catholic Church...

Marxist and far-left Gov. JB Pritzker legalized assisted suicide on one of the most revered Catholic feasts of Our Lady, even after recently meeting with Pope Leo XIV and despite pushback from Democrat lawmakers.

This miscreant hates the Natural Law, not to mention the Ten Commandments as well as the commonweal of the citizens of his state.

He has played right into the hands of his master, Satan, by pushing the extreme killing of the pre-born -- all the way up to birth and now assisted killing of the elderly and other confused folk!

From lifesitenews.com and written by Doug Mainwaring Fri Dec 12, 2025 - 1:46 pm EST: Illinois Gov. Pritzker signs assisted suicide into law on Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe - LifeSite

"SPRINGFIELD, Illinois (LifeSiteNews) — Illinois Governor Pritzker’s appalling decision to sign a pro-assisted suicide bill into law on December 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, is being roundly criticized by the state’s Catholics. 

“It is an insult and tragedy that on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, who is known as the ‘Protector of Life,’ and on the heels of a papal visit, Governor Pritzker has signed a pro-death measure into law that assaults the dignity of life and will only result in harm” said John Yep, president of Catholics For Catholics (CFC).  

“This is a dark and sorrowful day for Illinois. When the state signals that some lives are no longer worth living, the most vulnerable pay the price,” said Thomas Olp, executive vice president at Thomas More Society. “Instead of offering true compassion, support, and care, this law offers a fatal prescription. That is not mercy. It is abandonment.” 

“By legalizing physician-assisted suicide, the Land of Lincoln has crossed a profound moral and legal red line,” continued Olp. “As signed into law, this fatal misstep places vulnerable lives at risk, tramples the inherent dignity of human life, and erodes the foundational conscience rights of medical professionals and religious medical practices.”

“‘Pope Leo XIV’s message of hope, compassion, unity, and peace resonates with Illinoisans of all faiths and traditions,” Illinois Governor JB Pritzker wrote just a few weeks ago after meeting with the Chicago-born pope at the Vatican. “Now Pritzker has selected December 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, to sign an assisted suicide bill into law,” notes a statement from CFC. 

“Against the objections of disability rights groups and religious leaders, Governor Pritzker is signing SB 1950, or the ‘End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act,’ into law,” continues the CFC statement. “The bill legalizes assisted suicide and allows patients to self-administer life-ending medication with the review of two physicians and two witnesses. In the Senate, which voted 30-27 to pass the bill, every ‘yes’ vote came from a Democrat and eight Democrats joined the remaining 19 Republicans to vote against the measure.”

“After Pope Leo received Governor Pritzker in a lengthy private meeting, Pritzker said they discussed shared concerns about ‘vulnerable people.’ Now Pritzker’s making Assisted Suicide legal In Illinois. And, adding insult to injury, he’s doing it on Our Lady of Guadalupe’s feast day,” wrote Mary H. FioRito, a Chicago-based Catholic and pro-life advocate. 

In a blistering November critique of SB 1950, Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield rebuked not only the manner in which the legislation was approved but the attack that it launched on human dignity.

“It is quite fitting that the forces of the culture of death in the Illinois General Assembly passed physician-assisted suicide on October 31 —a day that, culturally, has become synonymous with glorifying death and evil,” Bishop Paprocki noted in his statement. “It’s also ironic that these pro-death legislators did it under the cloud of darkness at 2:54 a.m.”

“Governor Pritzker’s recent photo-op with the Holy Father appears to some in Illinois as an intentional tactic to take advantage of Pope Leo XIV and garner Catholic support in the state, only to turn around and enact a law fundamentally in opposition to Catholic doctrine,” asserted CFC.

In October, the Catholic Conference of Illinois released a statement condemning the bill, saying “the Illinois General Assembly has put our state on a slippery path that jeopardizes the well-being of the poor and marginalized” and asked Governor Pritzker to “not only to veto this bill in totality, but also to address humanely the reasons why some view assisted suicide as their only option” and “expand and improve on palliative care programs that offer expert assessment and management of pain and other symptoms.”

Their statement urged lawmakers and the governor to reconsider on behalf of vulnerable young people:

Let us also consider the impact on impressionable young people of legalizing suicide in any form. According to a 2022 United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study, suicide is the second-leading cause of death for U.S. teens and young adults 10-34. It is the second-leading cause of death for those 10-14. And, according to the National Institutes of Health, suicide contagion is a real risk to these young people after exposure to suicide. 

[My emphasis.] 

“It defies common sense for our state to enact a 9-8-8 suicide hotline, increase funding for suicide prevention programs and then pass a law that, based on the experience of other jurisdictions, results in more suicide,” it continues.

According to CatholicVote.org, the bill requires the patient to make the request to end their life both verbally and in writing and to repeat their request verbally at least five days after their first request. 

The Catholic Church teaches that suicide or the intentional ending of one’s own life is gravely evil, as man is not the author of his own life. “Intentional euthanasia, whatever its forms or motives, is murder. It is gravely contrary to the dignity of the human person and to the respect due to the living God, his Creator,” the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 2324) affirms.'

As I said, this plays right into the deadly hands of Satan, the author of lies and murder!

"(LifeSiteNews) — Archbishop Georg Gänswein, the papal nuncio to Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia, during an interview released last weekend said Pope Leo XIV should end the restrictions on the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) and return to the norms of Pope Benedict XVI’s motu proprio Summorum Pontificum because it brought unity to the Church.

Gänswein, during an interview that aired on December 7 with the German Catholic television network,  Katholisches Fernsehen (K-TV), noted that the Tridentine Mass, which nourished the faith of the Church for centuries, cannot suddenly become invalid or invaluable now, and questioned why Pope Francis promulgated Traditionis Custodes, when the majority of bishops were satisfied with his predecessor’s motu proprio Summorum Pontificum. The former personal secretary to Pope Benedict XVI then emphasized that Summorum Pontificum was the right path to fostering liturgical peace in the Roman rite, and he hopes it will be restored by Pope Leo.

Gänswein is the latest prelate to express his hope that Pope Francis’ 2021 motu proprio will be rescinded for a return to Summorum Pontificum.

“It is precisely the (TLM) that has allowed the Church not only to live but to live well for centuries, and the sacred nourished by it and from it,” he said. “It can’t be that it was valid and valuable yesterday and then no longer valid tomorrow. So this is an unnatural situation.”

Gänswein, appearing to cite Vatican journalist Diane Montagna’s report from over the summer on the overall results of the 2020 survey of bishops conducted by the then Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) that was believed to have prompted Pope Francis’ promulgation of Traditionis Custodes, stressed that the vast majority of bishops were ultimately satisfied with the implementation of Summorum Pontificum.

“The results were never officially published, but, of course, people are aware of them, and the result ultimately was that satisfaction was achieved,” the nuncio said. “(Summorum Pontificum was seen as) a path to peace, especially in the liturgy, the important place of religious life, and there should be no changes.”

“Why Pope Francis (imposed the restrictions) anyway is and remains a mystery to me,” he added.

Asked what he would like to see for the future of the Tridentine Mass, Gänswein said Pope Leo should restore Summorum Pontificum, which will allow for unity in the Roman rite.

“I consider Pope Benedict’s wise regulation (in Summorum Pontificum) to be the right path, and that has now been the right path for over 10 years, and we should continue on this path without complaint, without restriction,” he said. “I can only hope that Pope Leo will also go in this direction and simply continue the pacification, so that we can then simply look forward to working together.”

Indeed, since Pope Leo’s election in May, several prelates have urged the new pontiff to end the sweeping restrictions on the celebration of the TLM and return to the norms established under Summorum Pontificum.

In June, Cardinal Raymond Burke, who celebrated a Latin Mass inside St. Peter’s Basilica just a few months later for the annual Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage, said he had already spoken to Pope Leo about the persecution of the faithful who attend the Latin Mass:

It is my hope that Leo XIV will put an end to the present persecution to the faithful in the Church who desire to worship God according to the more ancient usage of the Roman Rite, this persecution from within the Church.

I have already had occasion to express that to the Holy Father. It is my hope that he will – as soon as it is possible – take up the study of this question and try to restore the situation as it was after Summorum Pontificum and even to develop what Pope Benedict XVI had so wisely and lovingly legislated for the Church.

Cardinal Robert Sarah, during an October interview, revealed that he too had the opportunity to speak with Pope Leo about ending the restrictions placed on the TLM during a September private audience. Cardinal Kurt Koch, who was recently appointed as president of Aid to the Church in Need by Pope Leo, stated in August that it is “desirable” for the 267th pontiff to end the restrictions on the Latin Mass and return to Summorum Pontificum.

“Personally, I would appreciate it if we could find a good way forward here,” the Swiss prelate said. “Pope Benedict XVI has shown a helpful way by believing that something that has been practiced for centuries cannot simply be banned. That convinced me.”

“Pope Francis has chosen a very restrictive path in this regard. It would certainly be desirable to open the now closed door more again,” Cardinal Koch added.'
