I saw this story and it seems like something out of the Reformation period in Europe. Much to my surprise there is still a monarch in Europe that is more than a figure head. The Duke of Luxembourg has the power to sign laws and he has veto power over the parliament. Later this week, however this power will be stripped from his office. This stems from the controversial decision the duke made to stand on principles and his moral conscience as a Catholic. Duke Henri refused to sign a bill in parliament that allowed for assisted suicide. Once his power is stripped and there is a second reading of the bill, Luxembourg will become the 3rd EU country to allow for Euthanasia.
Perhaps by falling on his political sword it will allow for attention to be drawn to the issue. Perhaps the people of Europe will see this as the growing tyranny of secularism that it is. My prayers are with the Duke. May God give him the grace to continue to stand up for morality on an ever increasingly secular continent.
