Catholic Church launches "Da Vinci Code" DVD

The Roman Catholic Bishops of Scotland have today released the following pastoral statement on the proposed repeal of Section 28.

The "Pastoral Message" has been approved by all eight members of the Bishops' Conference of Scotland and is issued to provide guidance to Catholics on the current controversy and to put on record the Church's official position on the proposed repeal of Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988.

Cardinal Keith O'Brien has used "You Tube" to warn of the dangers in the Government's "Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill". In a 5 minute film which will be copied to DVD and sent to all UK MP's, the Cardinal reiterates his opposition to the creation of animal-human hybrid embryos and highlights recent opinion poll findings on the subject.

The video can be viewed at www.scmo.org or on "You Tube" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22MR984zgvo

At the same time, Bishop Philip Tartaglia has written to MP's in the Diocese of Paisley by Bishop urging them not to vote for the Bill. The letter is addressed to Douglas Alexander MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire South, Jim Sheridan MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire South, Jim Murphy MP for East Renfrewshire and David Cairns MP for Inverclyde.
