Cardinal Cormac Murphy O’Connor’s message last week brought the moral issues raise by the Human Fertilization and Embryology bill to our attention. You will find some postcards at the back of the Cathedral which are already set out for you to complete with your name and address and the name of your MP. Please do take one with you and vote against the issues Cardinal O’Connor has made us all aware of. “Now is the time to draw the line”

Calls It the "Opposite" of a Human Right
VIENNA, Austria, SEPT. 7, 2007 (Zenit.org).- Abortion is not only a "deep wound" in society, it is also the antithesis of a human right, says Benedict XVI.
The Pope delivered this message today to the members of government and diplomatic corps in Austria, during an address in the reception hall of Vienna's Hofburg Palace, the seat of the Austrian presidency.
