That's why the Catholic Church took a strong stand against suicide 2000 years ago.

Understandable. For the survival of the Catholic Church as well, I suppose.

@rinkydinkydoink I read LONG ago something about the approaching year 100 A.D. was leading to a lot of early Christians to commit suicide to get to Heaven, which definitely cut down on the size of the denomination. If a religions aim is to die and go to Heaven, then suicide HAS to be a no-no if you don't want the religion to die out.
