Fined For Saying the Truth
Poland
"If Catholics will be sentenced for calling abortion by its proper name – murder -, then we will get into great difficulties" - said the General Secretary of the Polish Episcopate, Bishop Stanislaw Budzik. A Polish Court has assigned to Alice Tysiąc 11’000 dollars compensation. The sum of money must be paid by the diocesan magazine of the archdiocese of Katowice, „Gość Niedzielny”. An article published in the magazine suggested that Mrs Tysiąc tried to commit murder by aiming at removing the pregnancy for fear of worsening her eyesight. "I dear to say that this sentence evokes the spirit of the past, when for the words of truth one had to pay with jail - commented Cardinal Dziwisz of Krakow. "This sentence is a manifestation of the civilization of death," added the Metropolitan of Katowice Archbishop Damian Zimoń.

Canada
The president of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops is urging members of the Parliament not to legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide and to avoid ambiguous language in discussing the issue. “It is hard to see how any legislation legalizing euthanasia and assisted suicide would protect the most vulnerable in our society, writes terminally ill Archbishop James Weisgerber of Winnipeg. There is also the well-founded fear that euthanasia and assisted suicide can be imposed on individuals as a way to save costs and lessen demands on care-givers. Inevitably, the result would be a society even more fragmented, with its members living in greater isolation and anxiety.
