hi, what did John paul 2 say about suicide? Also, Could you give me the link to that
like meaning did he say if you kill yourself u automatically go to hell, or something else.
I don’t know why you made this specific to John Paul II, but it isn’t the teaching of the Church that anyone “automatically goes to hell” for anything. Below are the teachings of the Church on suicide from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
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.
2282 If suicide is committed with the intention of setting an example, especially to the young, it also takes on the gravity of scandal. Voluntary co-operation in suicide is contrary to the moral law.
Grave psychological disturbances, anguish, or grave fear of hardship, suffering, or torture can diminish the responsibility of the one committing suicide.
2325 Suicide is seriously contrary to justice, hope, and charity. It is forbidden by the fifth commandment.
