The Horrible Reality of Canada's 'Healthcare'

JMJ

This reminds me of the 'ministers of euthanasia' from an old book.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Canada: From Utopia to Dystopia

August 29, 2019
Source: fsspx.news

A patient suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) resigned himself to starting a medically assisted death procedure—euthanasia—as the level of care which his condition needs was no longer supported by the state. Canadians are discovering that their social model is turning into a nightmare: limiting access to care, while supporting assisted suicide.
“No one should have to feel death is the only option due to lack of care,” said Dr. Leonie Herx, a physician in Toronto, Canada, in response to the news of Sean Tagert’s death.
The 41-year-old father had a neurodegenerative pathology, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Charcot’s disease.
Following a cardiac arrest in 2017, the condition of the patient required constant care at home, all the more expensive as his reimbursement for care was decreasing.
In a message of July 25, 2019, Sean Tagert revealed that two officials from Vancouver Coastal Health—the regional health authority supposed to provide health services to the sick—came to his home and talked to his mother. “They told his mother that they were there to cut his funding for care hours.” Unable to pay the 237 euros ($263.50) for the additional four hours per day needed for his care (the plan would only pay for 20 hours per day), the patient resigned himself to ask for medically assisted suicide, which, in turn, is fully funded.
On August 6, 2019, Sean Tagert passed away. “Sean often said that his son was his reason for living. We would ask, on Sean’s behalf, that the government recognize the serious problems in its treatment of ALS patients and their families, and find real solutions,” said the family the day after his death.
Suicide reimbursed, vital care at the expense of the patient: Canada—and more widely the West—discovers that the utopia of freedom without constraint, without God or master, leads to the worst dystopia, or rather to the reality of a abjectly materialistic society, without morality because it is apostate—a sordid society

Rome,the SSPX and this time of Crisis - Updated

+ JMJ Obviously there's lots of events right now. First we have the April 1st - I almost thought it was April Fools - meeting between Pope Francis and Bishop Fellay.  Nothing really news worthy as this is a natural progression as Rome appears to be considering fulfilling Archbishop Lefebvre's wish to 'accept us as we are'. Second we have the April 8th publication of what will be a verbose exhortation of the Synod of the Family. I'm willing to bet that the Pope will give with one hand (unilateral regularization of SSPX) and take with the other (ambiguous document that opens the flood gates of sin further). Much to pray for.

SSPX and the Resistance - A Comparison Of Ecclesiology

Shining the light of Church Teaching on the doctrinal positions of the SSPX and the Resistance. Principles are guides used to aid in decision making.  It stands to reason that bad principles will lead to bad decisions. The recent interactions between Rome and the SSPX has challenged a number of closely held cultural assumptions of people in both sides of the disagreement. This has resulted in cultural skirmishes in both Rome and the SSPX. Since it is the smaller of the two, the skirmishes have been more evident within the SSPX.  The cultural fault-line that Bishop Fellay crossed appears to be linked to two points of Catholic Doctrine: Ecclesiology and Obedience.  The cultural difference of view points is strong enough that it has resulted in the expulsion of a number of members.  It should also be noted that some other priests expelled since the beginning of the latest interactions (starting in 2000) held the same view points and have joined with the l...

Validity of new rite of episcopal consecrations - Courtesy of SSPX.org

+ JMJ In the blogosphere there are number of responses to this crisis in the Catholic Church that lead to conclusions that run counter to Catholic Doctrine and Dogmas - if taken to their logical conclusion. The validity of the New Rite of Episcopal consecrations is one such hotspot within more extreme sections of the 'traditionalist' culture. Validity of new rite of episcopal consecrations Courtesy of SSPX.org Why the new rite of episcopal consecration is valid Introduction This comprehensive study was compiled to settle a debate that has been circulating in traditional Catholic circles. Some writers have examined the new rite of episcopal consecration and concluded that it must be invalid. Since this would cause manifest problems if it were true and due to the heightened awareness of such a theory, we present a study of this question concluding that it is valid. Following the Council, in 1968 a new rite for the ordination of bishops was promulg...
