Celibacy Disturbs
The Jesuit and retired Bishop Francisco Claver shares in his new book, "The Making of the Local Church," his vision of a so-called participatory Church. Claver writes: The Church teaches about the centrality of the Eucharist, but if it cannot provide a priest for this, it might come to relaxing the rule on celibacy...If you are the one who talks about the centrality of the Eucharist, and you are the one who engineers it so that people don't have the Eucharist (because of the celibacy rule), you are contradicting yourself – the bishop claims.

Dr Lyndsey Myskow, an Edinburgh sexual health expert argued in the Scottish Herald that the morning after pill should be available free of charge in Scotland’s schools. A spokesman for the Catholic Church in Scotland answered that "the morning after pill has been progressively distributed over the past five years. At every step the availability has been mirrored by a rise in sexually transmitted diseases, a rise in conceptions and a rise in abortions. "The morning after pill is like the equivalent of putting an ambulance at the foot of a cliff instead of putting a fence at the top."

Better to resign
James MacMillan, the Scottish composer who is one of the Catholic world’s leading creative artists, has requested Catherine Pepinster, the editor of the Tablet, and Elena Curti, her deputy to resign. The Tablet crisis is caused by its misrepresentation of Catholic teaching on abortion and Archbishop Nichols’s views on the Latin Mass in successive editorials.
