Euthanasia advocates hate these stories because people catch an unvarnished glimpse at what is going on behind all the soothing, medicalized language: killing people.
Full details on @CatholicHerald of the 2 docs the Vatican orders priests & laity to sign if they leave the SSPX:
@MLJHaynes
“The current Vatican curia never expected that the small Fraternity would break the silence to unveil to the world that which the official discourse strives to conceal. Those distant years of 1988, when Rome's media apparatus conspired to demolish the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, are now behind us. Today, the reality is different: the little flock is not alone, and the faithful have lost their fear of the system's reprisals. In fact, the documentary's filmmakers were precisely two young men, weary of the systematic calumnies and defamations against the Fraternity in recent years.
“The point is that the current situation is radically different: we are no longer dealing with "exaggerated" clerics who denounced Rome's shift after the Second Vatican Council, accused of being "conspiracy theorists" and "pessimistic balloon-poppers." Today, the evidence of a society that, as a product of the desacralization of its Catholic foundations, has succumbed to demonization, is abundant and blatant. It assaults us at every turn. Whoever dares to deny it inhabits a world of fantasies or suffers from a voluntary blindness to reality.
“It is undeniable that this subversion has its origins in the 1960s, when a Masonic curia infiltrated into Rome's high spheres decided it was imperative to mutilate the doctrine and strip the Holy Church of the bulwarks that protected it from Satan's smoke, as Paul VI himself had to admit had insidiously penetrated the Temple.
“For this reason, on this June 7, ahead of the premiere of the first part of the FSSPX documentary, the Catholic will have the opportunity to contemplate and examine the silent work of the FSSPX priests from their own mouths, with the viewers free to draw their own conclusions.
“They will understand why the majority of the visitators sent from Rome to oversee the Fraternity ended up convinced of the integrity of the FSSPX's mission. This is certainly the case of Bishop Vitus Huonder, who, after a life of service in the hierarchy, decided to retire to the heart of the Fraternity in Écône, requesting that his remains finally rest alongside those of Bishop Marcel Lefebvre—a gesture that seals his testimony of fidelity to Tradition.
“It is very easy to abhor what one ignores or to denigrate what seems strange to us. However, when a soul delves into this community and witnesses, with judgment and rectitude, the providential and silent labor carried out for the good of the Catholic Church, it becomes impossible not to raise one's voice against injustice. It turns into a moral imperative to step forward and defend the TRUTH, against the charlatanism of those who, having abandoned service to Our Lord, have capitulated to serve His adversary.
“May many Catholics see the TRADITIO documentary out of love for the Church.”

This is possibly the worst crime in modern history.
Two men "adopted" a baby.
"A post mortem examination identified more than 30 external bruises, as well as internal bruising to his mouth and throat, internal bruising to his anus, bowel and bladder, lacerations to his anorectum, and a perforated bowel."
"One medical expert gave evidence that a bruise on the baby’s bottom appeared to be a human bite mark."
Think what this poor baby went through. The men who did this should be put to death.
Men should not be able to buy babies. I know that this will cause some anguish to good men who have good intentions, but it's necessary to prevent this happening. This cannot happen again.

Or the Germans …
“It has been pointed out that the SSPX is not the only Catholic body to have consecrated bishops without the permission of the Holy See, notably the Chinese bishops. The unfiltered reaction is generally "two wrongs don't make a right!"
“The reason for the China argument is that it seems obvious that sanctions must be applied in equal measure, everywhere. This is a principle of justice but it happens also to be a principle of EU law and Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence. Unfortunately, modernists don't think like that. The selective application of principles only when it suits them is a hallmark of their philosophy. They listen to the China argument in bafflement; many of them (such as Austen Ivereigh) simply don't get it.”

Citing Scripture and Catholic Tradition, the archbishop of Sydney urged renewed devotion to the Eucharist through kneeling, adoration, and faithful observance of liturgical rubrics.
SYDNEY (LifeSiteNews) — Australian Archbishop Anthony Fisher, O.P., has issued a pastoral letter for the Feast of Corpus Christi calling the faithful of his diocese to renewed Eucharistic adoration and reverent kneeling in worship.
On June 3, The Catholic Weekly published a pastoral letter entitled “Adoring the Eucharistic Lord: ‘Let us kneel before the God who made us,’” issued by Fisher, archbishop of Sydney, Australia, for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. The letter was addressed to priests, religious, and lay faithful of the archdiocese, and forms part of preparations for the International Eucharistic Congress scheduled to take place in Sydney in 2028.
Of these physical postures, kneeling most clearly reveals what we believe about God and our relationship to Him,” the archbishop writes. “We are also called to make a sign of reverence before we receive Holy Communion at Mass. In most cases this reverence is shown by bowing deeply, however many people choose to genuflect, or even to receive Communion kneeling. This is a perfectly valid option envisaged in the current Missal. Kneeling was the default position of receiving Holy Communion in the Latin Church for many centuries.”
From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 10:16-22
At that time, Jesus said unto His disciples: Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. And so on.
Homily by St. John Chrysostom, Patriarch of Constantinople.
34 on Matthew.
It is as though He said Let not your heart be troubled although when I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, I bid you be harmless as doves for, albeit, if I would, I could now make things otherwise, and suffer not that ye should have to bear anything grievous, neither be at the mercy of the wolves as are other sheep, but on the contrary, could make you more dreadful to the lions than the lions to you nevertheless, thus must it needs be, and yourselves it will make more glorious, and My power it will wholly show forth. For thus was it that afterwards the Same Lord said unto Paul: My grace is sufficient for thee, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. 2 Cor. xii. 9. It is I that have made you to be what ye are.
But let us look what wisdom it is which the Lord requireth. It is the wisdom of the serpent. The serpent draweth all the rest of his body after his head, and it is no matter to him if his body be cut through, so long as he keepeth his head unharmed. Thus, O Christian, is it with thee. It is no matter to thee that for thy faith's sake thou shouldest lose all things else money, or body, or, if need be, life itself. thy faith is thy head, and the root of thy being hold fast to that, and, as long as thou hast that, although thou shouldest lose all things else, it will only be to receive them back again with interest an hundredfold. And thus it is that the Lord biddeth us, not to be single-hearted only, nor wise only, but both together, that therefrom we may be strong.
- St John Chrysostom
(LifeSiteNews) — The great victory of suicide activists has been to sanitize and medicalize the killing of human beings. We cannot use words like “suicide” or “killing”; we must instead use false, propagandistic language like “medical aid in dying” or, preferably, the official-sounding acronym “MAID.” Suicide and killing still make us uncomfortable, and so the terms have been whisked carefully out of sight.
The propaganda constantly being pumped into the public is that a death by lethal injection is not only morally acceptable, but beautiful and peaceful. Conversely, dying naturally is presented as grim, painful, and horrible both for the person who is dying and for his or her family. The CBC and other press outlets have consistently presented restrictions on euthanasia as cruel measures that force people to experience awful pain.
Occasionally, we catch glimpses of the truth. “An Ontario man groaned, grimaced and repeated ‘help me’ while undergoing doctor-assisted death after one of the drugs didn’t produce the anticipated level of sedation, initially leaving him conscious,” Sharon Kirkey reported in the National Post on June 3.
The man, referred to as Mr. D., “experienced signs of physical and psychological distress, including groaning, guarding (tensing muscles) and grimacing,” and his “behavioral signs of distress escalated to repeated verbalizations, including ‘help me’ that continued until sedation was achieved with propofol and a comatose state was confirmed.” The family’s final memories of their father are traumatic.
Suddenly, it was clear that Mr. D. was not just dying—he was being killed, and the doctor was botching it. His last words, it seems, were calls to his family for help.
Another example from Kirkey: “Cases of MAID that do not proceed as planned were highlighted last week in media reports involving the 2024 death of Bradley Stewart, an Ontario man who resumed breathing after being pronounced dead by a London, Ont., family doctor and MAID provider — a traumatic experience his siblings who witnessed his mishandled death are still recovering from.”
One sibling noted that at first, “we couldn’t talk about it… Going through MAID and losing somebody twice in a matter of a couple of hours” was “too much.” After Stewart began breathing again, the doctor—James MacLean, who recently attracted international attention after approving a man for euthanasia in a Tim Horton’s parking lot—had to come back and kill him again. MacLean continues to kill, but now under clinical supervision.
These stories reminded me of the botched Belgian euthanasia in 2022. Thirty-six-year-old Alexina Wattiez decided to die by lethal injection after a cancer diagnosis. The family expected her death to be swift and silent; they left the room. After a moment, they heard screams. “I recognized her voice,” her partner said. “Afterwards we saw her lying on the bed with her eyes and mouth open.”
A post-mortem examination revealed the truth: Alexina had been suffocated to death. Some news reports indicate that the doctor used a pillow when the drugs failed to kill her; others say that the nurses took turns holding the pillow over the young woman’s face until she asphyxiated.
Euthanasia advocates hate these stories because when the mask slips, people catch an unvarnished glimpse at what is going on behind all the soothing, medicalized language: killing people. To mainstream the idea that medical professionals should kill patients, we must use terms that distract from that reality: end-of-life care; physician-assisted death; medical aid in dying. Euthanasia activists paint a picture of people being put out of their suffering surrounded by their loved ones as soothing music plays in the background, dying peacefully and with dignity.
