A fellow Pontifical Academy for Life member said Father Carlo Casalone and Mary-Jo Thiel took positions that 'are in conflict with the doctrine of the Church.'
(LifeSiteNews) — In an article published February 17 in the Daily Compass, Jean-Marie Le Méné, president of the Lejeune Foundation and a member of the Pontifical Academy for Life, sharply criticized two fellow members of the academy for their public support of a referendum on the legalization of assisted suicide.
The referendum on euthanasia had come under debate and was finally rejected in Italy’s constitutional court last week. “It is a serious matter,” Le Méné said, “when two members of the Pontifical Academy for Life, speaking about Italy, side in favor of legalization for assisted suicide. Being contrary to the doctrine of the Church, it is not and cannot ever be the Academy’s position.”
Le Méné was referring to a January 13 article published in La Civiltà Cattolica, a Jesuit journal reviewed by the Vatican, penned by Jesuit Fr. Carlo Casalone, professor of moral theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University, and to comments made January 31 in the French newspaper Le Monde, written by Marie-Jo Thiel, professor of ethics at the University of Strasbourg.
According to Le Méné, Casalone and Thiel acknowledge “that their respective positions are in conflict with the doctrine of the Church.” Le Méné rebuked them for attempting “to use their positions to officially commit the Pontifical Academy for Life” to what would amount to “a complete reversal of the universal Church’s position on assisted suicide.”
