Church is angry, skeptical over assisted-suicide claim

The Archdiocese of Detroit expressed anger and skepticism Friday about Dr. Jack Kevorkian's claim that he helped a woman kill herself inside a Roman Catholic church.

Cardinal Adam Maida of Detroit recently called on the faithful to give up meat on Fridays as penitence for assisted suicide and abortion.Nadia Foldes, 74, of New York inhaled carbon monoxide Thursday at a church where "there is a sympathetic priest," Kevorkian attorney Geoffrey Fieger said.
