What is behind the Vatileaks plot? Mainly, it seems, it’s a conspiracy against the Pope’s most trusted collaborator: so we should pray that it fails

Cardinal Bertone was appointed for the right reasons; his enemies now are those of the Pope himself

Margaret Forrester was fired by the NHS for giving a booklet on the effects of abortion to a colleague who made no complaint: how deep will this purge go?

Anti-abortion doctors are threatened with being struck off: now this totalitarian sacking. What’s next?

The GMC is threatening to strike off Catholic doctors who refuse to carry out abortions or refer the ‘patient’ on. So why have our bishops remained silent?

The contrast with the US bishops’ fightback on the same issue is very striking

There are millions starving; GM foods (which the WHO says are harmless) could massively help feed them. The Greens say no: just who do they think they are?

‘No effects on human health have been shown as a result of the consumption of such foods by the general population in the countries where they have been approved'

On Saturday, 17 deacons will be ordained for the ordinariate — but in Westminster Cathedral and not in their own church. The reason why is a disgrace

The SSPX is apparently about to go into schism over Bishop Fellay’s plans to return ‘within the walls’; we need him back and should pray that his opponents fail
