Especially since the drafts of the Jesuit periodical are usually revised by the Vatican Secretariat of State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>What follows is the press release issued by the above-mentioned approximately 60 civil society organizations with the list of signatories, including <em>International Family News<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;We cannot remain convinced by an article published today in <em>La Civilt\u00e0 Cattolica<\/em> on the subject of assisted suicide norms. It is surprising, in fact, that an authoritative publication, from which one expects an echo of the Magisterium of the Church, risks positions that &#8211; albeit indirectly &#8211; may in fact give field to that &#8220;culture of waste&#8221;, from whose negative effects Pope Francis constantly calls out. This is because we seem to misunderstand the rules already passed and those under discussion. The article gives a positive reading of Act no. 219\/2017, which instead allows death on the basis of an impermissible &#8220;now for then&#8221; and set the stage for the Constitution Court&#8217;s ruling on the &#8220;Cappato case&#8221; on suicide aid. Opens the text on the so-called &#8220;medically assisted voluntary death&#8221;, under discussion in the House, denying that it is a text euthanasia, when within it every single rule goes in that direction, including one that &#8211; even in the presence of the denial of the doctor and the Committee for clinical evaluation &#8211; establishes that the judge can still decide for death.<\/p><p>Nor should the impression be given of giving in to referendum blackmail, even before the Consulta expresses its opinion on the admissibility of the question. This stance, net of the articleist&#8217;s intentions, will certainly be valued by proponents of &#8220;state death.&#8221;<\/p><p>Laically, and in adherence to the anthropological datum, it is now necessary to reiterate that the protection of life and the support of those who suffer is a battle of reason and civilization, which should, therefore, concern everyone, and which certainly moves those who bear in their name the ideal of a Catholic civilization, hoping, therefore, the intensification of a dialogue with this certainly common purpose.<\/p><p>And if we ask everyone to reflect on whether it can be reasonable to discard life, we make a specific and urgent appeal to the institutions to support it in the most difficult moments through palliative care effective and widespread in the Italian territories and with 24-hour home care&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Catholic Alliance, Ass.
