The president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, Archbishop Rino Fisichella, said this week, “Life is not something negotiable,” and no politician or political party can attack its inviolability and sacredness.
In a recent editorial published by the Italian bishops’ daily newspaper “Avvenire,” Archbishop Fisichella commented on the recent law allowing euthanasia in Luxemburg, which was opposed by the Grand Duke Henry I. He noted that a person who “gives in to the desire for death opens the doors to expediency and undermines the foundation of social and civil life.”
