Quote:Why can't the (Catholic) clergy understand the notion of assisted dying? Are they stupid, or are they inventing a problem so they can "solve" it and thus create the illusion of usefulness in society?
It's not a matter of "understanding" and to answer the second question - neither. Their position predates the modern euthanasia position by thousands of years.
While I don't have an exact answer, I do think a more accurate summary would be that secularists/atheists have a hard time understanding the value of life as it is understood in a Christian worldview.
