• Cardinal Ruini affirms Church teaching on euthanasia

Cardinal Camillo Ruini, the president of the Italian bishops’ conference, reaffirmed the Church’s opposition to euthanasia during comments on January 22. Cardinal Ruini also sharply criticized government proposals for legal recognition of same-sex unions.

This is a follow-up/reaction to the story about the man who was denied a funeral because he "committed suicide" by having his life support removed.
