4 - The Myth of Compassionate "Aid in Dying"

The Respect Life Podcast · Nov 20, 2025 · 1h

Bishop Brennan of Brooklyn talks with Kat Talalas about what authentic, compassionate care looks like when our loved ones are dying. His parents’ beautiful example during his mother’s passing stands in stark contrast with the despair and hopelessness of assisted suicide, which is often promoted as “compassionate.”

Bishop Brennan offers a message to caregivers and those who want to support them, as well as those suffering from physical illness or mental health concerns. He also shares memories from his childhood, his journey to the priesthood, and the phone call about becoming a bishop.
