Nazi Resurgence in Europe
Seattle Catholic links to a story on the above today: Nothing to Apologize for on Dutch/Nazi Euthanasia Comments says Italian Minister. May God bless Carlo Giovanardi for speaking the hard truth in confused times.

Here are the comments by Italy’s Minister of Parliamentary Affairs that prompted Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende to demand an apology:

Nazi legislation and Hitler’s ideas are re-emerging in Europe via Dutch euthanasia laws and the debate on how to kill ill children.

Here is Christian Democrat Signore Giovanardi's rebuff:

I have nothing to apologize for, because I am against murders of ill people... It is the Dutch, who are to explain to Europe their homicidal practices. In the Netherlands it is allowed to put to death gravely ill children starting from the age of 12.

With the teaser "Hitler Continues His Conquest of Holland," Mark Shea of Catholic and Enjoying It! links to a story that provides the background, Dutch Consider Legalizing Infanticide, which begins thusly:

Infanticide used to be taboo in the Western world. But the government of the Netherlands is currently considering what many consider to be unthinkable – the creation of legal standards for pediatric euthanasia.

According to the London Times, a committee will soon be set up to regulate the practice, which doctors have quietly been performing for years in the Netherlands. Shockingly, Dutch politicians have not faced the wrath of many domestic or foreign critics.
