- "The Vatican confirmed today that Pope Francis has ordered a Belgian Catholic charity to stop offering euthanasia in its psychiatric hospitals [If accurately reported, why give this abomination till the end of August????]. In May, the Brothers of Charity group, the charitable arm of the Brothers of Charity religious order in Belgium, announced it would allow doctors to perform euthanasia at its 15 psychiatric hospitals in the country. Only Belgium and the Netherlands allow doctors to legally kill people with mental health problems" (National Catholic Register, 8/11/17).
