Belgium: The Vatican Congregation on Friday ordered 15 psychiatric hospitals under the Belgian Brothers of Charity to terminate so-called Catholic institutions. These hospitals were overseen by a corporation under the Brothers of Charity Church. The Vatican has taken strong action after a three-year debate with the Brothers of Charity Church and the corporation overseeing their hospitals.
Referring to the 1995 Encyclopedia of St. John Paul II and the Sermon of Pope Francis on January 30, the letter stated that euthanasia, under all circumstances, is an act that can never be tolerated.
The practice of euthanasia in hospitals under the Brothers of Charity in Belgium has been criticized for its treatment of mental illness. ‘The Brothers of Charity’ is a Catholic church founded in 1807 in Belgium. The community cares and cares for the sick and the mentally ill. The Superior General of the Brothers of Charity said that their hospitals are in pain of losing their Catholic status and that the church will have to abandon their psychiatric hospitals in Belgium with a heavy heart.
