What the CHURCH Teaches: End of Life Issues

What the Church Teaches: End of Life Issuesprovides a clear and user-friendly resource to help Catholics understand what the Church teaches and why about end-of-life issues.

Catholics want to understand clearly what the Church asks of them so they can make better decisions in their own families. They need to know what the Church teaches about living wills and advance directives, and they need to be directed to trustworthy sources of information on medical-moral issues. They also need to know that first and foremost the Church is the source of sacramental and spiritual support that they can turn to during any difficulties they may face.

That is why this handy pamphlet also talks about why Catholics should turn to the Church for help, the solace of the Sacrament of Anointing, and how to understand suffering from a Christian perspective.
