Sir David Amess death: Catholic bishop calls for last rites to be recognized as 'emergency service'

Shrewsbury, England, Oct 19, 2021 / 05:55 am (CNA). A Catholic bishop called on Tuesday for greater recognition of the last rites as an "emergency service" in the wake of the killing of British lawmaker Sir David Amess.

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Colin Powell once visited a Catholic high school in the Archdiocese of Washington to encourage students there to appreciate the Catholic education they are receiving, to dream big and to work hard to achieve those dreams.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Cardinal Mario Grech, secretary-general of the Synod of Bishops, said in the process to create a more "synodal church," one where every member contributes and all listen to each other, "we are touching something divine, and prayer is essential."

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The world can no longer ignore the suffering of the people of Haiti, an island that has been exploited and pillaged by wealthier nations for centuries, said Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, president of the Pontifical Academy for Life.

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- The Oct. 10 vandalization of Denver's cathedral basilica that resulted in satanic and other "hateful graffiti" being scrawled on its doors and at least one statue brought to 100 the number of incidents of arson, vandalism and other destruction that have taken place at Catholic sites across the United States since May 2020.

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Officials from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in an Oct. 14 court filing they were ready to begin implementing once again a Trump-era immigration policy with which they disagree -- the Migrant Protection Protocols, also called "Remain in Mexico" or MPP policy.
