Dear Family and Friends, Attached is an article by Fr. Joseph Iannuzzi regarding the strong" traditionalist" attitude some have had toward Pope Francis... Fr. Iannuzzi is very learned in Scripture, Church Teaching, early Church Fathers/Councils, etc... Often we as laity can come up with our own opinions and ideas about the Church and Jesus' teaching with our own limited knowledge. Fr. Iannuzzi is sharing with us from his wealth of knowledge. Below I have copied the beginning and the conclusion for you... If interested in whole article, let me know and I'll email it to you. Love and prayers,

IF YOU WERE suffering today with a terminal illness, would you want to end your life? There seems to be a theme today in real life situations, as well as movies and television shows, depicting one who is suffering being assisted or encouraged in committing suicide in order not to suffer; in order to "plan out" how their life should end. And many see this as a positive thing to do; as a way of being compassionate, sensitive and loving…not wanting to see another suffer more than they need to.
