Thoughts on the ACT Government's compulsory acquirement of a Catholic hospital
One can’t help feeling that it is no coincidence that this scandal is occurring in the realm of health, where the battle for our freedom and sovereignty is currently being fought on many fronts.
Up until the ACT government took over Calvary hospital there was one public hospital anyone in the ACT could attend and could be reasonably certain they would not be talked into killing themselves by euthanasia, or having an abortion. Euthanasia is still not legal in the ACT, but might become so soon; at that point if Calvary is no longer a Catholic hospital, in my opinion it will not be a safe place to seek counselling.
Whatever one might think about the Catholic church and their failures in the past and the weakness and complicity of the Pope with the purveyors of gene therapy1 during the pandemic, the Catholic church has stood firm on this moral point: that abortion and euthanasia are wrong.
This is certainly the way Catholic Archbishop of Sydney Anthony Fisher sees the situation. “It’s no secret that the ACT government want to force Calvary Hospital to provide abortions now, and euthanasia and assisted suicide in the future. Taking the land, buildings and hospital equipment and transferring staff employment across to Canberra Health Services allows them to push their anti-life agenda right through the hospital.”
The following section contains a discussion on suicide: if you might find it upsetting please don’t read it. Australian phone numbers below for counselling.
All of the Australian States have legalised euthanasia. The two territories have not - yet.
Today, if you live in one of the five Australian States, you should be very careful what you say if you are talking to your Doctor about feeling depressed.
Today, you are virtually assumed to have a decision making ability in Queensland, whether or not your family agrees with your suicidal wishes, and this means if you talk to the Doctor about not wanting to live any more, that may well be counted as a First Request; in Queensland they have streamlined the process so that if the nine day waiting period between the first request and second request is too long because you might die in the meantime, you can be euthanised quicker than that.
When I talked to my Doctor, many years ago, about feeling depressed, he talked me out of suicide and made me promise not to do it, and treated my depression. Because of this, I am still here today, and no longer suffer the malady of the “black dog.”
Strangely enough, if you are having suicidal thoughts it might be better to carry on such conversations with your Doctor on the phone, because of a Federal law prohibiting conversations about suicide in any communications over the phone or the internet. Your Doctor is going to be a fair bit more reluctant to count it as a First Request in this way.
Professor Charlie Corke, deputy chair of the Voluntary Assisted Dying Review Board in Victoria, wants the Commonwealth criminal code amended. “Either they work in a way that is very slow and cumbersome and frustrates the patients when they are in a vulnerable state at the end of their lives, or they break the law.” Yes (sarcastic tone) it would be great to speed up the whole process, Doc, so you can tell your vulnerable patients to top themselves over the phone.
The truth is, there is a God, and euthanasia is quite simply murder under a more palatable name.
We must pray for our nation, especially for the ACT, where our national leaders reside. This is a sad indictment of the times we are living in. God have mercy on us all.
