041 - Life, Death & The Illusion of Control (How the Culture of Autonomy Distorts the Meaning of Suffering and the Dignity of Life)
The Right to Die? - Euthanasia and the Catholic Response
What happens when compassion is confused with control?
In this episode, we’re diving deep into the topic of euthanasia; a subject often clouded by emotional language and moral confusion. While phrases like “death with dignity” or “ending suffering” sound merciful on the surface, they raise profound questions about the meaning of life, suffering, and human dignity.
Through the lens of Catholic teaching, we explore:
Why the Church opposes euthanasia, and what it actually teaches about end-of-life care
How autonomy and modern secular ethics fall short in addressing real suffering
The role of redemptive suffering, hope, and the sanctity of life. Even in its most fragile moments
Whether you’ve wrestled with this issue personally or are just seeking clarity in a world full of moral gray areas, this conversation is for you.
Tune in as we unwrap this complex topic with honesty, compassion, and truth.
