Dutch Christian Parties Support Euthanasia for Children

Guest Post by Clive It came as something of a shock when I first learnt that Holland had a 'Bible belt' Holland! Liberal, sexually relaxed, secular, progressive Holland. The country you visited for their "coffee shops" and to stare at the prostitute's sitting in the windows, flaunting their wares. Or so I'm told. Now I will admit to not being especially knowledgeable about Holland, so in the same way that many outside the UK have a view of this country formed by what they see about London, my view of Holland is heavily weighted by what I know of Amsterdam. So it's pretty much sex and drugs, with a bit of Anne Frank thrown in. Saying all that, I wasn't surprised to read that Holland had just announced plans to legalise euthanasia for 1 to 12 year old children. It was after all the first European country to legalise euthanasia for adults. I was surprised when one of the reports I read mentioned that there were two Christian Parties as part of t...

May God receive these three children into His loving arms while their parents are left asking how the evil He permits fits with His Divine Providence.  Bebe King, aged six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, aged seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, aged nine.

Given all their previous contact with numerous agencies over years, one is forced to ask what the parents needed to help them contend with and help this young, autistic teenager; an isolated child with evident growing mental health problems. What support were they offered?...

Introduction Yesterday was Father’s Day. As usual my children and grandchildren gathered to celebrate the day.   After a meal and a few drinks, my daughter, now in her forties, surprised me when she said: “You’ve been different the last ten years Dad. I wish you’d been like this when we were young.” My two sons agreed. I was heartened when my four-year-old grandson came to my defence; “Granddad’s got super-powers,” he said. Our favourite game involves Marvel figures My twelve-year-old granddaughter simply said somewhat sternly ,”Mum!” She and I share an interest in history, particularly Winston Churchill. It was all said in good humour and I brushed the remark off, but it led me to reflect on the role of fatherhood and the pressures facing men balancing finances, career, and home-life; pressures more intense today.. Fatherhood Today Fatherhood today is often confused or diminished. The Catholic Church offers a clear, and positive vision: fatherhood is not just a role - it...
