According to the Archdiocese of Quebec’s March 4 statement, the investigation into Cardinal Gerald Lacroix must be carried out ‘in accordance with the provisions of the motu proprio Vos Estis Lux Mundi.’
The Canadian pro-life movement rarely gets good news. But this week it got something to give a glimmer of hope that the slippery slope of legalized euthanasia may be finally arrested.
Cardinal Lacroix, 66, is a member of the Council of Cardinals advising Pope Francis. He has been a cardinal since 2014 and archbishop of Quebec since 2011.
The allegations are included as part of a lawsuit filed against the Archdiocese of Quebec and were made public in court on Thursday.
