Pope Leo defends political intervention on French end-of-life law
Original: Pope Leo defends entering political fray on France end-of-life law
Pope Leo has defended his decision to speak out on France's proposed end-of-life legislation, saying it was right for the Church to enter the political debate on such a moral issue. The remarks come as France weighs a law on assisted dying, a move the pontiff argues raises fundamental ethical questions that religious leaders cannot stay silent about.
Why now: France is actively debating legislation on assisted dying, making the Pope's intervention politically sensitive and newsworthy.
