Pastoral Letter from Bishop Alan McGuckian SJ, which addresses the crucial matter of end-of-life care in light of the proposed Terminally Ill Adults Bill to be discussed in Parliament on November 29th.
Bishop Alan has published a pastoral letter called 'Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful'.
The letter addresses the crucial matter of end-of-life care in light of the proposed Terminally Ill Adults Bill to be discussed in Westminster on November 29th.
In the letter Bishop Alan reaffirms the Catholic Church's teachings on the inherent dignity of human life. Every person, regardless of circumstance or condition, possesses an infinite dignity that must be upheld and protected. This core belief compels us to firmly reject assisted suicide.
