Not the same theology? You know that Catholic orders must have approval by the Pope to exist? For example, Franciscans were initially persecuted by the Vatican because their theology of poverty didn't match the one that the Vatican preached so they had to modify it to survive.
So in a way Catholic orders take a license of the religious brand from the Vatican.
When you worship a cruel sadomasochistic God of Christianity you can not have sympathy for people who suffer in pain.

Quote:Spain’s bishops decry decision to legalize euthanasia
Spain’s Catholic bishops have condemned the legalization of euthanasia in the country on Thursday.
The country’s parliament approved the law 202 to 141 vote on Thursday, and it will go into effect in three months.
“This is a moment to promote conscience objection and promote all that which is related with this culture of life that wants to have a red line strongly saying ‘You shall not kill’,” said Bishop Luis Argüello, secretary general of the Spanish bishops’ conference.
“Unfortunately, they’ve tried to find a solution to avoid suffering, by inducing the death of someone who is suffering,” he said. “It’s dramatic that there are 60,000 people who every year die in Spain suffering, when this could be remedied with an adequate policy of palliative care.”
Several bishops went to social media to voice their concern over the legalization.
Among them was Cardinal Carlos Osoro, the Archbishop of Madrid.
“The pandemic should cause a paradigm shift: Let’s move from the selfish search for our own well-being to caring … We are caregivers of others and, therefore, it is dramatic that today we are betting on euthanasia,” he wrote.
Cardinal Juan José Omella of Barcelona, president of the Spanish bishops’ conference, said the new legislation would be used to coerce those who are terminally ill to see death as their only option.
“We cannot consider ourselves an advanced society by approving a law that encourages the sick to throw in the towel and end their existence,” he argued.
While the bill was being debated, the Catholic Church fought against the law, saying palliative care wasn’t being adequately utilized in the country.
In a statement released Sept. 14, the bishops argued that the advocating for the “right to euthanasia” is a reductionist view of the human person that presents a freedom detached from responsibility.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
