KEVORKIAN AS GRINCH WHO STOLE CHRISTMAS
CHICAGO, Jan 4 (LSN) Just after Christmas Cardinal Francis George, Archbishop of Chicago, compared assisted-suicide and euthanasia activist to the grinch in the popular children’s story of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, by Doctor Seuss. “Dr. Kevorkian steals Christmas by treating life as a collection of experiences rather than a gift,” said the Cardinal.
“For us the great gift is Jesus, our Savior. He comes to give us new life and to remind us that all life is a gift. And that is what Dr. Kevorkian cannot understand or accept. For him, life is a possession, not a gift. And since life is only a possession, it can be disposed of when its owner so desires.”
