In todays newspaper I read that the Avvenire, a newspaper of the Italian bisshops, said that Eluana Englaro "did not die, but was killed". The paper is affaid that youngsters will not talk anymore to their parents, because they can turn into judge, jury and executioner.
Not only do I find this enormously cold-hearted of the "holy" Church and lacking total humanity, empathy and without any compassion, I find it flat-out without any reflection. How can an institute with such a track record of killing, torturing, corruption and oppression find the gaul to make a such statement about one person. Had they been consequent over the centuries, that would have been different.
Not only do I think that the Vatican should know it's place given the circumstances. Re-instating the holocaust denying Cardinal Wilkinson, going near bankrupt because of child abuse-claims, denying birthcontrol in third world countries.... the list is endless. How can they claim to respect all life, when their deeds prove the opposite?
And seconldy I think that the Vatican should be banned from the political scene. In many western coutries church and state have been seperated and I think it is about time this obscolete medieval remnant should be muted. On many occasions they have hunted down opponents of their beliefs and given them to the Inquisistion. People who held other beliefs have been tortured, mass murdered, burned at the stake and oppressed. We are letting them off easy when we polity ask them to hold their opinions to themselves.
