教皇利奥十四世周日严厉抨击将医疗辅助死亡合法化的做法,称其为不道德的“虚假慈悲”,他在前往法国天主教圣地卢尔德访问期间,再次强调天主教关于生命的教义。卢尔德因病患奇迹般痊愈而闻名。
Pope Leo XIV on Sunday blasted the legalization of medically assisted death as immoral “false compassion,” as he doubled down on Catholic teaching about life during a visit Sunday to Lourdes, the French Catholic shrine associated with miraculous cures of the sick.
访法第三天,利奥再次介入安乐死辩论,这场辩论已在全球多国爆发。在法国,该议题搅动政坛多年,最近才通过立法,允许患绝症的成年人接受致死药物。
On his third day in France, Leo again waded into the end-of-life debate that has erupted in countries around the world. It roiled French politics for years before resulting recently in legislation allowing adults with incurable illnesses to receive lethal medication.
这位美国教皇访问这个曾经坚定信奉天主教、现为官方世俗国家的法国,引发巨大反响——80万人参加了他在巴黎标志性协和广场举行的弥撒——他也借机反对堕胎和安乐死。
Leo’s visit to the once staunchly Catholic and officially secular France has been marked by huge crowds — 800,000 at Leo’s Mass on Paris’ iconic Place de la Concorde — and his messaging against abortion and assisted dying.
周日,教皇在卢尔德主教堂旁的草坪上为约15万人举行弥撒,许多信众坐轮椅前来。随后,他探访了圣地内的一家病患护理中心。他特别鼓励那些生活在“可怕痛苦”中的人们,强调他们拥有任何法律或算法都无法“抹除”的固有尊严。“相反,正是以人不可剥夺的尊严之名,我们必须拒绝以虚假慈悲为幌子导致死亡的诱惑,”他说。“合法的不一定是道德的,”利奥的话引来人群鼓掌。
On Sunday, the American pope celebrated Mass before some 150,000 people — many in wheelchairs — on the prairie next to Lourdes’ main basilica. He then visited a care center for sick people on the sanctuary’s grounds. He sought to encourage especially those who live in “terrible pain” that they have inherent dignity that no law or algorithm can “eliminate.” “On the contrary, it is precisely in the name of this inalienable dignity of the human person that we must reject the temptation to cause death under the guise of false compassion,” he said. “What is legal is not necessarily moral,” Leo said to applause from the crowd.
1858年,一名少女在此报告见到圣母显灵,经天主教会正式认定后,卢尔德成为重要朝圣地。这个靠近西班牙边境的圣地每年吸引数百万朝圣者,特别是病患和残障信徒,他们希望从显灵洞穴的著名泉水中获得治愈。
Lourdes became a major pilgrimage destination after the Catholic Church officially recognized visions of the Virgin Mary reported here by a young girl in 1858. The site near the Spanish border draws millions of pilgrims each year, especially sick and disabled believers hoping for a cure from the famed spring water in the Lourdes grotto where the visions purportedly occurred.
利奥周六晚从巴黎抵达卢尔德,随即进入显灵洞祈祷,并饮用了泉水。

“他为法国带来了希望的信息,带来了希望与伟大的信息,并为法国带来了更新,”巴黎朝圣者皮埃尔·卡济尔茨说。
Leo arrived in Lourdes from Paris on Saturday night and immediately prayed inside the Grotto of Apparitions and drank from the spring.

在法国,利奥多次呼吁重新尊重生命,这符合天主教教义,即所有人类生命必须从受孕那一刻起直到自然死亡都受到保护和捍卫。这一教义转化为坚决反对堕胎、安乐死和医疗辅助死亡。
In France, Leo has repeatedly called for a renewed respect for life in keeping with Catholic teaching that all human life must be protected and defended from conception until natural death. The teaching translates into firm opposition to abortion, euthanasia and medically assisted dying.
在卢尔德,教会已认定72例“奇迹”治愈为真实,尊重甚至最虚弱、生病和脆弱者的问题显得尤为尖锐。
In France, Leo has repeatedly called for a renewed respect for life in keeping with Catholic teaching that all human life must be protected and defended from conception until natural death. The teaching translates into firm opposition to abortion, euthanasia and medically assisted dying.
“你们的拐杖、轮椅和隐秘的泪水不是障碍;相反,它们正是你们得到充分尊重和接纳的地方,”利奥在讲道中说。“卢尔德因成为宣认生命之美与神圣的场所而蒙福,因为在这里生命被视为来自天主的珍贵礼物而被接纳。”
In Lourdes, where the church has recognized 72 “miraculous” cures as authentic, the question of respecting even the most frail, sick and vulnerable is particularly acute.
幸存者前往卢尔德作为其疗愈过程的一部分 最近,卢尔德也成为神职人员性侵幸存者的疗愈之地。利奥周日稍晚将与七名幸存者会面,其中包括一名成年时遭受虐待者,以此回应教会面临的虐待危机新前沿。
“Your crutches, your wheelchairs and your hidden tears are not obstacles; instead, they are the very place where you are fully respected and welcomed,” Leo said in his homily. “Lourdes is blessed as a place for professing the beauty and sanctity of life, for life is welcomed here as a precious gift from God.” Survivors visit Lourdes as part of their healing process More recently, Lourdes has also become a place of healing for survivors of clergy sexual abuse. Leo was to meet with seven survivors later Sunday, including one who was abused as an adult, in recognition of the new frontier of the abuse crisis facing the church.
法国教会经历了对其虐待遗产的残酷清算。2021年一份独立报告估计,在70年间,约有33万名儿童遭到约3000名神职人员和教会工作人员的虐待。

Leo was to meet with seven survivors later Sunday, including one who was abused as an adult, in recognition of the new frontier of the abuse crisis facing the church.
尽管对该报告的方法论和结论存在批评,法国主教们仍建立了一个独立的受害者赔偿制度,迄今已建议教会赔付超过2000万欧元(约2270万美元)。
The French church has endured a brutal reckoning with its legacy of abuse. An independent report in 2021 estimated 330,000 children had been abused over 70 years by some 3,000 priests and church workers. Despite criticism of the report’s methodology and conclusions, French bishops put in place an independent system of compensation for victims that to date has recommended the church pay out more than 20 million euros ($22.7 million).
周日早上,在与法国主教们的会面中,利奥赞扬了他们对受害者的回应,并敦促他们继续努力。但他也承认,法国教会神职人员圣召的暴跌与丑闻有关,因为神职人员现在有时会受到怀疑。
During a meeting with French bishops on Sunday morning, Leo praised their response to victims and urged them to continue. But he also acknowledged that the cratering in priestly vocations in the French church is related to the scandal, given the priesthood is now sometimes viewed with suspicion.

利奥抵达巴黎的当天,一群受害者写了一封公开信,要求他承认教会在丑闻中的责任,强调了批评者所看到的利益冲突:主教既被要求做神父的精神父亲,又要在神父施虐时充当审判者。
On the day Leo arrived in Paris, a group of victims wrote an open letter asking him to acknowledge the church’s responsibility in the scandal, highlighting what critics see as the conflict of interest of bishops being asked to be both spiritual fathers to their priests and judges when they abuse.
“教会必须放弃其既是审判者又是当事人的地位,”受害者在法国《解放报》发表的信中写道。受害者还抱怨只有七人能与利奥会面,且是由教会挑选的。
“The Church must relinquish its position as both judge and party to the proceedings,” the victims wrote in the letter published by French newspaper Liberation. The victims also complained that only seven of them would meet with Leo, chosen by the church.
主教会议发言人皮埃尔-安托万·博佐主教表示,利奥特意希望保持小组规模较小,以促进亲密交流。
“The Church must relinquish its position as both judge and party to the proceedings,” the victims wrote in the letter published by French newspaper Liberation. The victims also complained that only seven of them would meet with Leo, chosen by the church.
“当面对倾听他们时,你不可能面前坐着50个人,”他说。“所以我认为,这才是教皇真正的选择:先倾听,以便我们能更有效地行动和回应。” 马赛克成为涉嫌虐待的痛苦回忆 在卢尔德,利奥也被提醒了一个棘手的虐待案件,这是从方济各教皇手中继承下来的。
Monsignor Pierre-Antoine Bozo, spokesperson for the bishops’ conference, said Leo intentionally wanted to keep the group small to facilitate an intimate encounter. “When it comes to listening to them, you can’t have 50 people in front of you,” he said. “So I think that’s really what the pope chose: to listen so that we can act and respond more effectively.” Mosaics are a painful reminder of alleged abuse In Lourdes, Leo was also reminded of a prickly abuse case inherited from Pope Francis.
卢尔德一座圣殿的立面是由马克·鲁普尼克神父设计的,他是天主教会最著名的马赛克艺术家之一。
The façade of one of the Lourdes basilicas was designed by the Rev. Marko Rupnik, one of the Catholic Church’s most famous mosaic artists.
鲁普尼克目前正在梵蒂冈法庭受审,被二十多名女性指控自20世纪90年代起对她们实施心理、精神和性虐待,包括在创作艺术作品期间。
Rupnik is currently on trial in a Vatican court, accused by more than two dozen women of having psychologically, spiritually and sexually abused them starting in the 1990s, including during the creation of his artworks.
他的案件被其耶稣会上级掩盖了三十年,甚至连方济各也被怀疑曾保护这位耶稣会同僚。在舆论哗然后,方济各于2024年下令进行教会法庭审判,该审判目前仍在进行中。
His case was covered up for three decades by his Jesuit superiors, and even Francis was suspected of having protected his fellow Jesuit. In response to a media outcry, Francis ordered a canonical trial in 2024, which is ongoing.
鲁普尼克案引发了一个问题:该如何处理他的马赛克作品?这些作品装饰着世界各地的圣殿。
The Rupnik case posed the question of what to do with his mosaics, which adorn basilicas around the world.
卢尔德主教让-马克·米卡斯于2025年决定遮盖玫瑰圣母圣殿的立面,理由是前往卢尔德寻求治愈的虐待受害者不应被迫看到这些作品。
Lourdes Bishop Jean-Marc Micas in 2025 decided cover the façade of the Notre Dame du Rosaire Basilica, reasoning that abuse victims who come to Lourdes for healing shouldn’t be forced to see them.
周日,利奥乘坐教皇专车绕行圣殿前,路过如今被芥末色窗帘遮盖、用扎带固定的马赛克板。
On Sunday, Leo looped in front of the basilica in his popemobile, passing by the mosaic panels now covered by mustard-colored curtains affixed with plastic ties.
在利奥访问前致信他的信中,五名自称遭鲁普尼克虐待的女性赞扬了米卡斯遮盖马赛克的决定,但批评梵蒂冈对她们案件的处理,以及长达三十年才让她们得到倾听。
In a letter to Leo ahead of his trip, five women who say they were abused by Rupnik praised Micas’ decision to cover the mosaics but criticized the Vatican’s treatment of their case and the three decades it has taken for them to be heard.
“这种漫长而喧嚣的沉默,被我们这些受害者视为进一步的、持续的暴力,”她们写道。
“This prolonged and loud silence has been experienced by us, the victims, as a further, continuous violence,” they wrote.
