Cardinal Cupich, Catholic groups sue Illinois to block assisted-suicide law
Cardinal Blase Cupich, two Catholic religious orders, and a rural Illinois pharmacist sued the state to block its upcoming End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act, arguing it violates their religious beliefs by obligating them to participate in or facilitate assisted suicide. The filings, supported by Becket and targeting the law before its Sept. 12 take effect, contend the measure coerces religious caregivers and would threaten their institutions’ missions, prompting multiple parallel lawsuits across state lines.

About Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm
The Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm are a religious institute begun in 1929 by Mother Angeline Teresa. The order is there to discern the differing needs of the aged, and to satisfy those needs to the best of their ability. At the Jubilee of Mother Angeline Teresa in 1964, she said that in the 1920s, while working among the aged in Brooklyn and Pittsburgh, she came to dislike the institutional flavor of existing homes, and sought to provide greater freedom for the residents.
