    Thou shall not kill has been taken over without restriction into the Christian moral code. It is left to God, the Creator of life, the master of life and death, to determine the hour of death. The wilful [sic] extermination of life, of one's own life by suicide, of the life of others by killing, is stigmatized by the law of God as criminal interference in the moral order...In the Christian world order, however, a more extensive right, for instance the right to kill life unfit to live by euthanasia, for reasons of euthanasia or even for reasons of national economy, is not recognized...In this ethical-legal, non-political question, I considered it my duty to speak, because as a Catholic bishop I cannot be silent when it is a question of the preservation of the moral basis of all public order, and because I, as a German bishop, am obligated under Article 16 of the Reich Concordate, to prevent an injury which in my opinion threatens our nation and to preserve for our reputation of being a civilized nation.
