CWN Editor's Note: Cardinal Frank Leo of Toronto called upon Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and members of Parliament to reject the expansion of assisted suicide to the mentally ill.
“Our Catholic faith opposes the taking of any life and it is with great disappointment and anguish that we have seen our country expand [assisted suicide] at a rapid and alarming rate,” Cardinal Leo wrote, as he called for “instead prioriz[ing] investments in palliative care, mental health support and resources for those who are increasingly marginalized and isolated, especially seniors and Canadians living with disabilities.”
