Dignified and strong from Labour MP Mike Kane.'Catholics believe that extreme unction helps guide the soul to God after death' . Suggests an Amess amendment ensuring that Catholics should be able to receive the sacrament, whether at a crime scene or in a care home.

Clip...

This seems like a good idea to me.

[Robert DeLong]

Why isn’t this coming from a Tory?

[Verginius Rufus]

I’m surprised they should need a law—why isn’t it already a right? Do care homes in England have the right to bar Catholic priests from the premises?

[RandFan]

I’m guessing he mentions care homes because of COVID and they have been denied.

I don’t know for sure...

Hitchens brother was a nasty, atheistic little s**t.

No. The pro-death Deep State dictatorship demanded a US Florida Catholic be denied ALL food and drink, including the sacraments as she lay in a judge’s custody while her “ husband” killed her.

I remember the Terry Schiavo case very well. I believe she died about the same time as Pope John Paul II. Jeb! made a show of trying to save her but I don't think he tried as hard as he could have.

This law has to do with the UK, not the US.
