About this sermon
Church leaders in the UK are expressing disappointment at the recently advanced bill in favor of assisted suicide. Bishop John Sherrington, the Auxiliary Bishop of Westminster, says he is praying the measure will be rejected at a later stage. In a statement, he says in part, "We believe that this bill is flawed in principle and also contains particular clauses that are of concern. We ask the Catholic community to pray that members of Parliament will have the wisdom to reject this bill at a later stage in its progress." Members of Parliament voted to advance the measure late last week and it now heads to the next legislative stage. The last time lawmakers considered assisted suicide in 2015, it was voted down at the second stage and progressed no further. A journalist in the United Kingdom, Heather Tomlinson, joins to tell us about the vote last week and whether it was a surprise. Tomlinson discusses what comes next and what the timetable is. She shares how other Church leaders and the faithful in the UK are responding. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
