Are Pro-Choice Paglia & Church Militant both like Pro-Choice former NY Gov. Mario Cuomo "Personally Opposed" to Assisted Suicide, but "don’t want to Impose their Morality on other people"?
"Pro-abortion politicians have learned this lesson well. Former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, a nominal Catholic, said that he was personally opposed to abortion, but didn’t want to impose his morality on other people. Of course, Cuomo was also opposed to capital punishment, but did all he possibly could to ban it in the State of New York." - Human Life International [https://www.hli.org/resources/im-personally-opposed-abortion/]
Are pro-choice Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia and Church Militant like pro-choice former New York Governor Mario Cuomo personally opposed to assisted suicide, but don't want to impose their morality on other people?
EWTN's Fr. Gerald E. Murray, a canon lawyer, and Catholic Vote shows that this is the Paglia position which the seemingly going Woke Church Militant apparently defends:
After an uproar in the Catholic world, Paglia issued a followup “clarification” on Monday, April 21. The Pontifical Academy for Life, of which Paglia is president, explained that he is opposed to euthanasia because he personally would not apply it; but insists that the specific Italian policy solution is consistent with a “realistic” approach to Church teachings.
Murray emphatically disagree, saying “it is reprehensible for Archbishop Paglia to contradict God and His law. The only realism for a Christian is God’s realism. God said ‘Thou shalt not kill.’ Living by that commandment is the only realism in a world created by God. Anything else is a descent into the unreal world of diabolical lies and death, physical and spiritual.”
The Pontifical Academy’s statement further made the case that supporting the specific law being considered in Italy is consistent with Catholic teachings because it would only depenalize but not decriminalize euthanasia, so that the practice would still be illegal in Italy, even if applicable in certain conditions.The Pontifical Academy’s statement further made the case that supporting the specific law being considered in Italy is consistent with Catholic teachings because it would only depenalize but not decriminalize euthanasia, so that the practice would still be illegal in Italy, even if applicable in certain conditions.
But according to Fr. Murray, “this is a pathetic attempt at misdirection … to convince people that there is nothing wrong with his new Italian law since euthanasia would still be a crime. Yet if there is no penalty for committing this crime, then it would not be treated as a crime.”
“De-penalization is de facto decriminalization. It is not acceptable for any state to authorize the killing of innocent people,” Murray concluded:
It is stupefying to hear this line of illogical reasoning from a shepherd of Christ’s flock. Archbishop Paglia has a duty to God to recant his error and support the teaching of the Church, clearly and unambiguously.

Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis's Amoris Laetitia.
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost - Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.
Francis Notes:
- Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:
"[T]he Pope... WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See."
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)
Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said "the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church."

"The AAS statement... establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense."
- On December 2, 2017, Bishop Rene Gracida:
"Francis' heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents."
