Catholic Archbishop
Richard Smith addresses Catholic
laity about euthanasia
& assisted suicide

The Canadian Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton has hosted a 5-part series on assisted suicide and Catholic responses and understanding. Five sessions entitled "Every Life Matters" (ELM) were held at different locations throughout the archdiocese about these important topics. The sessions included prayer, personal witness, medical and legal expertise, and teaching from the Most Reverend Richard Smith, Archbishop of the Archdiocese. Each session also included time for questions and answers from audiences and from webcast viewers. You can watch each of the five sessions by clicking here  http://caedm.ca/ELM-EasterSeries.aspx 

Other bishops should follow Archbishop Smith's lead and explain Church teaching about assisted suicide and euthanasia and palliative services available people in their time of need.
