“Freedom to kill is not a true freedom, but a tyranny that reduces the human being into slavery.”
— Pope Benedict XVI at the basilica of St. John’s in Lateran during his installation as the Bishop of Rome, speaking about this “unequivocal” condemnation of abortion and euthanasia. The 265th Pope has already earned the moniker “God’s Rottweiler” for his unrelenting and inflexible conservatism.
