Corrections: David said the Vatican granted Latin Mass exemptions across 34 dioceses last year, the correct figure is 33, and the additional restriction on the Traditional Latin Mass was introduced by Pope Francis in December 2021, not 2023.
MPs have defeated the latest attempt to legalise assisted suicide in England and Wales, rejecting Lauren Edwards' Terminally Ill Adults Bill by 286 votes to 270 and killing off the Parliament Act strategy that would have forced it into law regardless of the Lords. Cardinal Walter Brandmüller argues that the Church's current model of synodality is partly inspired by Protestant practice and cannot be reconciled with Catholic teaching on episcopal authority, even as new Vatican figures show parish exemptions for the Traditional Latin Mass still being granted while this year's Ad Petri Sedem pilgrims are barred from celebrating it inside St Peter's Basilica. Cardinal Raymond Burke has publicly defended the title of Mary as Co-Redemptrix in the Netherlands, pushing back against a Vatican document that calls the term always inappropriate.
