Juan Dejo: una reflexión más inteligente y compasiva: Monsignor Ignacio Carrasco de Paula, head of the Pontifical Academy for Life, told the Italian news agency Ansa. ‘Suicide is not a good thing. It is a bad thing because it is saying no to life and to everything it means with respect to our mission in the world and towards those around us,’ the head of the Vatican think tank on life issues said in a report on the Ansa website.” He called here suicide “an absurdity.” Msgr. Carrasco de Paula’s lack of human compassion is what strikes me as absurd. My priest friend wrote in his note attached to the link, “Another tin ear; another lost opportunity. Imagine if he had offered a word of compassionate understanding for her suffering and the suffering of those who love her and then explained the Lord Jesus offers another way to experience suffering, not simply as an evil that must be endured but a path to redemption through love stronger than death, a love that affirms the value of life even in the midst of great suffering. But no.” I hope when I am on my deathbed, my priest friend is close at hand.
