THIS WEEKEND SECOND COLLECTION AT ALL MASSES This year’s appeal postcards call on the Government to adhere to the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child. Please be as generous as you can to help SPUC defend unborn babies and their mothers.
This weekend, we read the Pastoral Letter from Archbishop Mark: "...Catholics maintain a principled objection to this change in law recognising that every human life is sacred, coming as a gift of God and bearing a God-given dignity...The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill will fundamentally change many of the key relationships in our way of life: within the family, between doctor and patient, within the health service. Yet there has been no Royal Commission or independent inquiry ahead of its presentation. It is a Private Member’s Bill. The Bill itself is long and complex and was published just days before MPs voted on it, giving them inadequate time to consult or reflect upon it. The time for debate was minimal. The Committee examining the Bill took only three days of evidence...In contrast to the provisions of this Bill, what is needed is first-class, compassionate palliative care at the end of our lives… No-one should be dispatched as a burden to others. Instead, a good society would prioritise care for the elderly, the vulnerable, and the weak. The lives of our families are richer for cherishing their presence....So, I appeal to you: even if you have written before, please make contact now with your MP and ask them to vote against this Bill..." Right to Life UK has an online mechanism to allow people to submit a message to ask their MP to stop assisted suicide being rushed into law, and it only takes a few moments.
