Pope condemns assisted dying as 'false compassion' at French shrine
Original: Pope blasts assisted dying as 'false compassion' at French shrine known for miraculous cures
Pope Leo condemned assisted dying as 'false compassion' during a visit to Lourdes, the French shrine famed for reported miraculous cures. Speaking at the pilgrimage site, he contrasted the shrine's tradition of healing with moves to legalise euthanasia, arguing that ending life is not genuine care for the sick. The remarks come as several European countries debate expanding assisted dying laws.
Why now: The pope's comments land amid ongoing European debates over legalising assisted dying, making his intervention newly relevant.
