The Belgian Brothers of Charity have defied the Pope and announced
they will continue offering euthanasia at their hospitals despite being
ordered to stop.
The group said in a statement that
it “continues to stand by its vision statement on euthanasia for mental
suffering in a non-terminal situation” and that they “emphatically
believe” the practice is compatible with Catholic teaching.
The group also claimed the decision had “come about starting from the
Christian frame of thought” and that they “always take into account the
shifts and evolutions within society”.
Last month, Pope Francis approved a Vatican demand that Brothers must stop offering euthanasia by the end of August.

When it's time for someone to die is God's decision, not some Belgian's.
