Catholic Teaching Regarding Suicide
Catechism, 2281 “Suicide contradicts the natural inclination of the human being to preserve and perpetuate his life. ”
- It is gravely contrary to the just love of self.
- It likewise offends love of neighbor because it unjustly breaks the ties of solidarity with family, nation, and other human societies to which we continue to have obligations.
- Suicide is contrary to love for the living God.
