CWN Editor's Note: The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales lamented the reintroduction of assisted-suicide legislation in Parliament, two months after the legislation failed to pass in the House of Lords.
“The Catholic Church opposes this bill in principle and joins with many other people of faith and none in arguing that we should not cross this watershed,” said Archbishop John Sherrington of Liverpool, the conference’s lead bishop for life issues. “I call on all people of goodwill to join me in work and prayer to prevent this flawed bill from succeeding.”
