Pope Leo visits Lourdes and criticizes legalization of assisted dying as 'false compassion'

Pope Leo XIV criticized the legalization of medically assisted dying , calling it immoral and an example of false compassion during a visit on Sunday to Lourdes, the Catholic shrine in France associated with miraculous cures of the sick. It is precisely in the name of this inalienable dignity of the human person that we must reject the temptation to cause death under the guise of false compassion, said Leo, prompting applause from the crowd gathered to see him. What is legal is not necessarily moral. On his third day in France, Leo again waded into the end-of-life debate that has erupted in countries around the world. It roiled French politics for years before resulting recently in legislation allowing adults with incurable illnesses to receive lethal medication. Leo's visit to the once staunchly Catholic and officially secular France has been marked by huge crowds 800,000 at Leo's Mass on Paris' iconic Place de la Concorde and his messaging against abortion and assisted dying. Many who attended the pope's Mass on Sunday were in wheelchairs, and he later visited a care center for sick people on Lourdes' grounds. He sought to encourage those who live in terrible pain that they have inherent dignity that no law or algorithm can eliminate. Lourdes became a major pilgrimage destination after the Catholic Church officially recognized visions of the Virgin Mary reported here by a young girl in 1858. The site near the Spanish border draws millions of pilgrims each year, especially sick and disabled believers hoping for a cure from the famed spring water in the Lourdes grotto where the visions purportedly occurred. Since arriving in France, Leo has repeatedly called for a renewed respect for life in keeping with Catholic teaching that all human life must be protected and defended from conception until natural death. The teaching translates into firm opposition to abortion, euthanasia and medically assisted dying. In Lourdes, where the church has recognized 72 miraculous cures as authentic, the question of respecting even the most frail, sick and vulnerable is particularly acute. Your crutches, your wheelchairs and your hidden tears are not obstacles; instead, they are the very place where you are fully respected and welcomed, Leo said in his homily. Lourdes is blessed as a place for professing the beauty and sanctity of life, for life is welcomed here as a precious gift from God. Leo meets with clergy abuse survivors More recently, Lourdes has also become a place of healing for survivors of clergy sexual abuse. Leo met with seven survivors on Sunday, including one who was abused as an adult, in recognition of the new frontier of the abuse crisis facing the church. Survivors described the pope as sincere despite some differences of opinion following the two-hour meeting. There was something sincere with him. Every word was chosen; every word had a meaning. There were many emotions, Jrme Guillement said. Guillement told a local French TV station that they talked about abuse prevention at all levels. There are different opinions, but from his point of view, there is a systemic dimension that still exists, he said. Olivier Mardi said the pope understands that he must work with victims. He reacted well to our very concrete proposals ... He said that we must reopen hope, and it takes seriousness to seize it, Mardi told France's LCI news channel. The French church has endured a brutal reckoning with its legacy of abuse. An independent report in 2021 estimated 330,000 children had been abused over 70 years by some 3,000 priests and church workers. Despite criticism of the report's methodology and conclusions, French bishops put in place an independent system of compensation for victims that to date has recommended the church pay out more than 20 million euros, or $22.7 million. During a meeting with French bishops on Sunday morning, Leo praised their response to victims and urged them to continue. But he also acknowledged that the cratering in priestly vocations in the French church is related to the scandal, given the priesthood is now sometimes viewed with suspicion. For priestly vocations to flourish, the priest must be welcomed, accepted, and loved, Leo said. On the day Leo arrived in Paris, a group of victims wrote an open letter asking him to acknowledge the church's responsibility in the scandal, highlighting what critics see as the conflict of interest of bishops being asked to be both spiritual fathers to their priests and judges when they abuse. The Church must relinquish its position as both judge and party to the proceedings, the victims wrote in the letter published by French newspaper Liberation. The victims also complained that only seven of them would meet with Leo, chosen by the church. Monsignor Pierre-Antoine Bozo, spokesperson for the bishops' conference, said Leo intentionally wanted to keep the group small to facilitate an intimate encounter. When it comes to listening to them, you can't have 50 people in front of you, he said. So I think that's really what the pope chose: to listen so that we can act and respond more effectively. In Lourdes, Leo was also reminded of a prickly abuse case inherited from Pope Francis. The faade of one of the Lourdes basilicas was designed by the Rev. Marko Rupnik, a religious mosaic artist. Rupnik is currently on trial in a Vatican court, accused by more than two dozen women of having psychologically, spiritually and sexually abused them starting in the 1990s, including during the creation of his artworks. His case was covered up for three decades by his Jesuit superiors, and even Francis was suspected of having protected his fellow Jesuit. In response to a media outcry, Francis ordered a canonical trial in 2024, which is ongoing. In a letter to Leo ahead of his trip, five women who say they were abused by Rupnik praised Micas' decision to cover the mosaics. But they criticized the Vatican's handling of their case and the three decades it has taken for them to be heard. This prolonged and loud silence has been experienced by us, the victims, as a further, continuous violence, they wrote.

Left parties, Congress condemn alleged BJP obstruction to ex-CM Manik Sarkar's programme in Tripura

Digital Desk | Agartala, Sep 28 (IANS) The Opposition Congress, the CPI-M, CPI and other Left parties have condemned the alleged attempt by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) supporters to obstruct the vehicle of former Chief Minister and veteran Left leader Manik Sarkar when he arrived at Kalibazar in West Tripura to inaugurate the DYFI Mohanpur subdivision conference. In a statement on Sunday, the CPI-M state secretariat alleged that a group of BJP supporters gathered near the entrance of the party office at Kalibazar in Bamutia before Sarkar arrived around noon. As soon as Manik Sarkar's vehicle reached the spot, the BJP workers tried in various ways to create obstruction, the CPI-M alleged. The Left party said that youth volunteers confronted the alleged troublemakers and ensured that Sarkar's vehicle could enter the CPI-M office. Sarkar subsequently inaugurated the DYFI conference by addressing the gathering and later left the venue, while the youth leaders and delegates continued with the programme peacefully, the CPI (M) said. Sarkar was the Chief Minister of Tripura for 20 years between 1998 and 2018. The CPI-M state secretariat strongly condemned what it described as the undemocratic behaviour of the BJP and demanded appropriate action against those allegedly involved in the incident. The party alleged that the incident reflected what it called the authoritarian intolerance of the BJP towards political activities of opposition parties. According to the CPI-M, the alleged obstruction was an attempt to disrupt a political programme of a senior Opposition leader. The party also alleged that the BJP was trying to suppress the voice of opposition parties. The CPI-M appealed to people who believe in democratic values to protest against what it termed the undemocratic activities of the BJP. The BJP supporters also waved black flags at Sarkar. Leader of Opposition (LoP) and CPI-M state Secretary Jitendra Choudhry, state unit of the CPI and senior Congress leader Sudip Roy Barman separately condemened the incident. It was a purposeful attempt to prevent the former Chief Minister from attending a party programme. The BJP leaders who had stopped him and staged protests will not be able to hide once the people hit the streets, the LoP told the media. A jungle raj has been prevailing in the state under the governance of the BJP. There is no law and order in the state, Roy Barman, a former Minister told the media. A police official said that a strong contingent of police and CRPF personnel led by Mohanpur Sub Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Asish Das Gupta reached the spot after being alerted and escorted Sarkar safely to the local CPI-M office.

CJP team's detention ends in Assam, Ashutosh Ranka alleges 'illegal detention'

Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 28 (IANS) The alleged detention of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) Co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka and several party volunteers by the Assam Police ended in the evening, with Ranka claiming that the police action was illegal and announcing that he would address the media from the spot where he was picked up earlier in the day. In a post on social media platform X on Sunday, Ranka said, The illegal detention by Assam Police has finally ended, and added that the CJP team had asked the police to drop them at the place from where they were allegedly picked up. He added that he would address the press at Chaudhary Tila, opposite the Assam Secretariat, in Guwahati. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke reacted to Ranka's announcement with a remark expressing disappointment that the planned protest outside a police station would no longer take place. Abey yaar... I was actually looking forward to joining your strike at the police station tomorrow, Dipke said on X. The development followed the detention earlier on Sunday of Ranka and more than 30 CJP workers, including four members of the party's central committee, according to the organisation. The detentions came shortly before a regional volunteers' meeting scheduled in Guwahati. The meeting was initially planned at Assam Shree Parshuram Seva Sadan on Kharga Choudhury Road in Athgaon. The venue was subsequently shifted to Chowdhury Tila, opposite the Assam Secretariat, after CJP members alleged that pressure had been exerted on the original venue to cancel the booking. Ranka had arrived in Guwahati on Saturday along with other CJP members. The organisation said its Assam activities included meeting local volunteers, visiting government schools and interacting with families affected by the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Before his detention, Ranka alleged that police were preventing the group from holding the meeting and accused the authorities of repeatedly detaining its members. CJP founder Dipke had earlier claimed that Ranka was picked up from a private residence and said the detained members had not been informed of the charges or grounds for their detention. The CJP subsequently demanded the immediate release of Ranka and other volunteers, alleging targeted suppression of its activities in Assam. Assam Police had not issued an immediate public statement explaining the grounds for the detentions, according to reports. The release of Ranka and the other CJP members brings the immediate detention incident to an end, while the organisation is expected to address the media on the circumstances surrounding the police action.

Rohingya youth caught by police in Bengal's Jalpaiguri with help of trained dog

Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 27 (IANS) The police in West Bengal's Jalpaiguri district on Sunday caught a prisoner with the help of a trained dog, hours after he escaped from a holding centre in Rajganj area of the district. According to the police, Mohammad Soleiman was recently arrested on suspicion of being a Rohingya. He was lodged at a holding centre in Rajganj. On Sunday, the youth tried to escape by climbing over the wall of the holding centre. However, his attempt was unsuccessful as he was caught with the help of a trained dog. According to the police, the prisoner had left the holding centre on Sunday morning on the pretext of going to the toilet. Taking the opportunity, he climbed over the wall and started running through the bushes. After a while, the security guards realised the matter and started running after him and informed the Rajganj police station. Later, the police searched various places since Sunday morning. Unable to find the escaped prisoner anywhere, the help of the forest department was sought. The forest department sent their trained dog 'Orlando' in the operation following which the accused was arrested from a tea garden adjacent to Panikauri intersection, about a kilometre away from the holding centre. On September 20, a group of four people were arrested from New Jalpaiguri area and taken to the holding centre. Among them was Soleiman, a resident of Myanmar. In search of the fugitive prisoner, the Malbazar Subdistrict Police contacted the Jalpaiguri Wildlife Department for trained dogs. Later, 'Orlando', who was in the Gorumara National Park, was taken. Following the scent of the clothes worn by the escaped youth, 'Orlando' led the police team ahead. He stopped at the tea garden adjacent to Panikauri intersection, about a kilometre away from the holding centre. After a brief search, the police arrested the accused from that place. Rajib Dey, District Assistant Forest Officer of Jalpaiguri Wildlife Department, said, The Malbazar Sub district Police had asked us for a trained dog. We sent a trained dog. Our dog was able to track down the Rohingya youth who escaped from the holding centre. Our trained dog has been useful in police and administrative work. We are happy with this. For so long, 'Orlando' was used in the forest department's surveillance and search operations in the Gorumara National Park. He has tracked down poachers several times. This time, he found the escaped prisoner. On the other hand, questions have started to arise about the security arrangements of the holding centre. Police sources said they are investigating how the accused escaped from police surveillance.

'Need to take heritage to students: Professor Selvaraj after PM Modis praise

Digital Desk | Trichy (Tamil Nadu), Sep 27 (IANS) Tamil scholar and Head of the Tamil Department at Manapparai Government Arts and Science College, Professor Selvaraj, on Sunday expressed happiness after Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted his discovery of a Veerakkal (hero stone) during his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat. Selvaraj said the Prime Minister's appreciation had encouraged him to continue his efforts to document and create awareness about Tamil Nadu's rich cultural and historical heritage. Speaking about his research, Selvaraj said he had earlier discovered a Chola inscription in the Thalikaipatharpet area near Trichy, his native place. During the course of his research, he also came across a Jain rock inscription and published details of his findings in academic journals. He said his interest in historical inscriptions and heritage sites subsequently led him to conduct research in the Manapparai region as well. Similarly, I conducted research in Manapparai. Based on information given by a student, I discovered a Veerakkal. I took students to the site and explained its significance to them. The Hon'ble Prime Minister has appreciated this work. I thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Selvaraj said. He emphasised the importance of taking such discoveries to students, saying several traces of cultural heritage could be found in and around the places where people live. We need to take this information to students. Only then will they understand its true significance, he said. Selvaraj said the recognition through Mann Ki Baat was particularly meaningful as it brought attention to efforts undertaken at the grassroots level to preserve and understand India's historical heritage. His wife, Professor Sharmila, also expressed happiness over the Prime Minister's mention of her husband's work. It is surprising to hear Prime Minister Modi speak about this. I am very happy. The Prime Minister has been continuously speaking through this programme. Despite his heavy workload, he gives importance to and speaks about the small things done by ordinary people. I once again express my heartfelt thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, she said.

Addressing a press conference at the state BJP headquarters in Gandhinagar, Patel said the Election Commission is an autonomous institution and that elections in the country were conducted through a transparent process. The fact that all three Election Commissioners, including the Chief Election Commissioner, have clearly stated that all decisions regarding SIR were taken unanimously proves that the allegations of differences within the Election Commission are completely baseless, Patel said. He said the Election Commission is working to ensure that the names of all eligible citizens were properly included in electoral rolls and that they were able to exercise their right to vote. Referring to the enrolment of new voters, Patel said: The Supreme Court had considered Form 6 appropriate for registration in the electoral rolls and the poll panel had stated that care is being taken to ensure that no eligible citizen was deprived of the right to vote. CM Patel accused Congress of adopting different positions on the Election Commission depending on electoral outcomes. Congress has two different sets of teeth one for chewing and another for showing, he said, alleging that the party spoke of democracy and the impartiality of the Election Commission when it won elections, but raised allegations of vote theft and irregularities when the mandate went to the BJP under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said Congress, the Communist Party, the CPI(M) and the Trinamool Congress had approached the Supreme Court challenging the SIR process. According to Patel, the Supreme Court heard the parties and considered the SIR process appropriate. Referring to Kerala, Patel said Congress had itself considered SIR appropriate and had said that the exercise contributed to its victory there. In West Bengal, the Supreme Court had appointed a Special Observer for the elections following a demand from the TMC, he said. Patel questioned Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi over Congress prolonged absence from power in West Bengal, saying the party had been out of power there for 40 years. Congress had lost its political position in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar since 1990, he said. Referring to the electoral rolls in West Bengal, he alleged that names that had been illegally added were removed and fake voters were exposed, after which the BJP won the election. The Chief Minister also alleged that those who had curtailed the autonomy of the Election Commission during their time in government were now making baseless allegations against the institution. Patel said the development-oriented politics pursued under PM Modis leadership had strengthened peoples faith in democracy. Indias growth rate had reached 7.8 per cent and the country is moving towards becoming the worlds third-largest economic power, he added. He also referred to the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan being held to mark PM Modis 25 years in public life and public service. He alleged that Opposition leaders were tarnishing Indias image globally by making serious allegations against constitutional institutions without basis. Patel said people in a democracy had the right to question institutions, whether they were in the Opposition or in government, but maintained that discussions concerning sensitive institutions such as the Election Commission should be based on facts, law and confidence in constitutional institutions.

BREAKING: UK Foils Iran Terror Attack Plot? 5 Held Near US Base , Trump Reveals 'Big Damage' Plot

Five men have been arrested in the United Kingdom after three suspicious trucks were spotted near RAF Fairford, a U.S.-operated British air base that has been used by American bombers during the war against Iran. British counterterrorism police say the men are being held on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act, while a bomb disposal robot was deployed to examine the vehicles. Around 85 households were evacuated and a 400-meter cordon was established as authorities searched the area. U.S. President Donald Trump praised the operation, saying the suspects were allegedly looking to cause big damage to the base and that U.S.-British cooperation had helped stop them. The arrests come amid heightened tensions involving Iran and previous warnings over threats to British and U.S. interests. British authorities have not said that Iran was involved, and the investigation remains ongoing. The key question now: was this an isolated plot, or is there a wider connection?
