Brittany Maynard- has died

You might consider including the bits on what the Church teaches about non-Catholics, and also about what the Church teaches about apostates, if you're really interested in spreading the whole Truth rather than a politically convenient, truncated truth.

I expected nothing less.

The truth is never the truth with you. Someone is ways hiding something, and we must ways go way over and beyond and become irrelevant with information to please you.

I'm not interested in that typical and predicable game.

I pass it to you to justify this, Mike. Have fun!

Suicide is not glamorous.

No kidding. I never said it was. Don't put words in my mouth.

Are you saying that suicide is okay and it is it not an abominable act?

If you actually read and comprehended my posts, you'd know what I said; perhaps you should re-read them. I said exactly what I meant; no more, no less.

With all due respect, the day I turn to you to qualify how good a Christian I am, then I'll take a trip to Oregon myself.

I don't consider calling someone who just died names being a good Christian regardless who does it, but you're certainly entitled to disagree.

That is an interesting response to a simple request for the whole truth rather than convenient bits.
It is relevant to this discussion, I think, that invincible ignorance of Catholic moral teaching is, in Christ's mercy, an impediment to mortal sin. We can hope and pray that she was ignorant of the beautiful Truths you posted! Unfortunately for those who have been given the Truth of Christ's one true, Catholic Church but reject it, things aren't so pretty. Still, even for them, we can hope that their apostasy is a result of invincible ignorance and that God will favor mercy over justice for them!

Posted in the other thread, and now I take my leave from this thread.

It seems you have a curious definition of what that means, since you've already posted twice after this.

Regarding the topic at hand.......

It is UNACCEPTABLE.

It. Is. Wrong.

This is never, ever OK.

Suicide is SELFISH.

It shows no love for God.

I do not pretend to be holy or righteous or just.

Can't speak to that either way generally, but IMO your comments above sure have a judgmental tone, which I don't think fit any of those categories.

2279 Even if death is thought to be imminent, the ordinary care owed to a sick person cannot be legitimately interrupted.

If (by quoting this) you are implying or think aggressive chemo is "ordinary care," think again.


PS and FYI: I am not saying "gee it's swell she did this." I would have much preferred she fought for her life as well. I am just annoyed by the oversimplifications and frankly repulsed by the self-righteousness expressed in some of the posts here.

Assuming this even makes sense, this is also utter nonsense. And I say that as someone who probably disagrees with MikeK more often than not.

I also found your phrase "irrelevant with information" rather telling.

This thread is supposed to be a prayer thread guys.

um... I do not think anyone said that?

food, water, shelter, basic care
that is ordinary

You guys are right. Let the dead bury their dead. Look that one up.

The funny (well, not funny, but sad) thing is that nowhere will you see me say "hey, what she did is fine." It isn't. It is suicide and suicide is grave matter. People who are Catholics (including apostates from the faith) must abide by the rules of the Church including those in the Catechism. People who are not will be judged by different metrics. That isn't a controversial statement, it isn't a new sentiment, it's the truth in plain words.

God comfort her family, and bless her soul....may she (and all of us) speed to you, when our turn comes!
