Oppose Assisted Suicide
Let’s do everything we can to prevent this bill becoming a law which once again undermines and diminishes the value of human life.
We are calling on Catholics in England and Wales to unite in prayer and compassionate action to oppose assisted suicide.
In early September 2024, when parliament returned and a Bill on assisted suicide – so-called assisted dying – started its passage through the House of Lords, our Lead Bishop for Life Issues, Bishop John Sherrington, called for Catholics to unite in prayer and compassionate action.
That call is renewed now, urgently, as on Friday, 29 November, the House of Commons will hear the Second Reading of a bill on assisted suicide tabled by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater.
