The Holy Father was speaking at the European Parliament in Strasbourg during a brief visit meant to highlight his vision for Europe a quarter-century after St John Paul II travelled there to address a continent still divided by the Iron Curtain. “Despite talk of human rights, too many people are treated as objects in Europe: unborn, terminally ill, and the elderly,” the Pope told MEPs. “We’re too tempted to throwaway lives we don’t see as ‘useful.’ Upholding the dignity of the person means acknowledging the value of the gift of human life.” He said that ‘killing [children]… before they’re born is the great mistake that happens when technology is allowed to take over’ and is ‘the Pope Francis shakes hands with Martin Schulz, inevitable consequence of a throwaway culture.’ president of the European Parliament, while visiting the European Parliament in Strasbourg I Continued on page 6 Galloway’s bishop-elect in prayer call I Fr William Nolan, ‘gobsmacked’ over Pope Francis’ appointment, asks for parishioners to pray for him By Ian Dunn seeds of Faith so long ago,” The new bishop added that his experience in many pastoral situations, He said he was glad that his ordination parishioners were delighted for him.

  • Chapter 1 William Semple and the Foundation of the College
    Chapter 1 William Semple and the Foundation of the College Among the decrees issued by the general council of the Catholic Church, held in the city of Trent at the time of the reformation, a considerable number dealt with measures thought necessary to correct abuses and failings among the clergy. In an attempt to improve the situation for the future, the council ordered, in particular, that the preparation of young men for the priesthood be conducted in special training centres, to be called seminaries, which were to be set up throughout the Catholic world. It is undeniable that the catastrophic state in which the Catholic Church found itself in Scotland after 1560 was due, in no small measure, to many of the clergy having been ill-prepared, spiritually and intellectually, for their work. If the Council of Trent’s instruction regarding the establishment of seminaries was worth heeding in any country, that country was Scotland. But in the decades that followed the Scottish reformation, the Catholics there were in no position to be able to comply with the council’s decree. It was this impossibility of having seminaries in Scotland that led to the establishment of various institutions on the continent, where young Scotsmen who believed themselves called to the priesthood might go to receive the appropriate training. Such Scottish seminaries were set up in Flanders, at Paris and at Rome. One other was also established. Its location was Spain, a not unexpected choice, since that country regarded itself as the bastion of the old faith, with a special mission to combat the heretics of England and Scotland.

A SPIRIT of joy filled St Andrew’s Cathedral as children and young people with additional support needs joined Archbishop Philip Tartaglia for Mass. The theme ‘Rejoice’ reflected the Gospel passage of Mary’s visit to her cousin Elizabeth – whose child in her womb leapt for joy. The Archbishop spoke of the gifts of life and love and the great joy which the births of John the Baptist and Jesus brought to the world. He encouraged the young people to rejoice and reflect that joy in caring for others and looking after the world. Glasgow Lord Provost Sadie Docherty joined in the celebrations.

Covid-19 Virus Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, In this time of trial we, the Bishops of Scotland, wish to send you a word of reassurance and encouragement. We are all facing much uncertainty, anxiety and an unpredictable future. This situation touches on every aspect of our lives, individually and collectively. Sacred Scripture calls us repeatedly not to fear and to look to the help that comes to us from above. We are called to support one another in every way we can, especially those who are most vulnerable, through age or underlying conditions. Even in the midst of any necessary “distancing” we must stand by each other. We ask you to pray for the sick, those caring for them, for those in positions of responsibility with difficult decisions to make, indeed for our whole country and the entire human family. Most of all, we are being asked to put our trust in the living God who has created everything to be and to flourish and whose providence guides the course of world events. We put our trust in our Lord Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, and the true physician of our souls and bodies. During this Lent, especially, let us all take the opportunity to deepen our relationship with God. As your bishops and with our priests and deacons, we assure you of our continuing commitment to your spiritual, pastoral and sacramental needs.
