There's evidence and information on both sides that leads me to think seriously about what direction to go." Most believe that Pritzker will reject anything that Pope Leo might have cautioned on the immorality of assisted suicide. The fact that the governor has already said he will "come down to compassion" is a signal that he believes that assisted suicide is the "compassionate choice." Such a meeting risks signaling tacit approval of Pritzker's policies that directly contradict Catholic teaching on the sanctity of life, undermining the credibility of the…...
