I am flabbergasted at this situation!  That a Catholic religious order would not only support in any way a policy of euthanasia and especially for a highly vulnerable group like the psychiatrically ill, but that they would be so blatantly oppositional to formal and informal requests and directives from Church authorities on a matter as central to the Faith as this - it is beyond me.  I think +Francis is showing great restraint and patience with the Brothers of Charity, but it is time for a definitive conclusion to such an abhorrent distortion of a tenant of Christian principles.
