So, the next time someone claims martyrdom for a suicide bomber or for anyone who is killed while murdering others in the name of a religion or other cause (including the mass murderer in Dallas last week 5), don’t accept that distorted use of the word.ġ – “What is the Church’s Teaching on Martyrdom?” Ģ – Summary of Paragraph 2283 from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 25 th printing, November, 2013.ĥ – “The first black woman crowned Miss Alabama is standing by a controversial video in which she called the Dallas gunman a ‘martyr - but admits it was a poor choice of words.” From “Former Miss Alabama Admits She Shouldn’t Have Called Dallas Gunman ‘a Martyr’… But Won’t Pull Video,”. Suicide is contrary to love for the living God.” 4 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. It is gravely contrary to the just love of self. Suicide contradicts the natural inclination of the human being to preserve and perpetuate his life. We are stewards, not owners, of the life God has entrusted to us.
We are obliged to accept life gratefully and preserve it for his honor and the salvation of our souls. It is God who remains the sovereign Master of life. “Everyone is responsible for his life before God who has given it to him.

The Merriam-Webster on-line dictionary gives its first definition of the word “martyr” as the one pertaining to faith: “a person who is killed or who suffers greatly for a religion, cause, etc.”Īnother description: “Sacred Scripture attests to the courage of men and women who were willing to die as martyrs rather than renounce their faith or be unfaithful to God’s law.” 1
