Welcome to Saint Peter’s

The Scottish Bishops’ Conference has issued a Pastoral Letter on assisted suicide, expressing deep concern over the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill. The letter emphasizes the importance of compassion and support for those facing terminal illness, advocating for the medical, emotional, and spiritual care that affirms their inherent worth. The bishops have urged Catholics to contact their MSPs to oppose the legislation, highlighting the need for key protections to prevent coercion and ensure proper palliative care. Bishops Letter
