Urgent Action: Christian doctors potentially at risk of being struck off - have your say

The General Medical Council (GMC) is consulting on new guidance which would restrict the freedom of Christian doctors to express their beliefs.

Have your say now! - consultation closes next Wednesday (13th June).

You can respond to these proposals by completing this easy-to-fill-in form on the GMC website (you do NOT have to be a medical professional to do this).

Questions 1-6 under the section entitled "Personal Beliefs and Medical Practice" on pages 26 - 29 are the most important (you can leave the rest out if you want).

Have a look at this helpful advice from Dr Peter Saunders (CEO of the Christian Medical Fellowship) for some good pointers on how to answer the questions.

"At three o'clock, implore My Mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in my abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great Mercy for the whole World. I will allow you to enter into my mortal sorrow. In this hour, I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of me in virtue of My Passion." - The Promise of Our Lord to St. Faustina.“You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelope the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us."

A Prayer For Our Bishop:
O almighty and eternal God, by whose judgment all things are established: mercifully regard our prayers, and in Thy goodness preserve the Bishop (Seamus Cunningham) chosen for us: that the Christian people, who are governed by Thy authority, may under so great a pontiff increase in the merits of their faith. Through our Lord. Amen.

A Prayer For Our Priests:
Jesus, Eternal Priest, keep Thy priests within the shelter of Thy Sacred Heart, where none may touch them. Keep unstained their anointed hands, which daily touch Thy Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their lips, daily purpled with Thy Precious Blood. Keep pure and unworldly their hearts, sealed with the sublime mark of the priesthood. Let Thy holy love surround them from the world's contagion. Bless their labors with abundant fruit, and may the souls to whom they minister be their joy and consolation here and their everlasting crown hereafter.Amen

It is sometimes claimed that dissent from the Magisterium is totally compatible with being a "good Catholic" and poses no obstacle to the reception of the sacraments. This is a grave error" Blessed John Paul II speech to U.S Bishops in Los Angles CA, September 16th September 1987.

"When Mass is being celebrated, the Sanctuary is filled with countless Angels who adore the Divine Victim immolated on the altar." St John Chrysostom

VATICAN 11: Pope John XXIII himself stated in his Opening Address at the beginning of Vatican II”that the Council was not intended to be a doctrinal council concerned with defining any articles of Faith; rather it was to be a “pastoral” council that was concerned with representing the Catholic Faith in a manner acceptable to the modern world”

SAINTS OF GOD COME TO OUR AID:

Angele Dei,
qui custos es mei,
me, tibi commissum pietate superna,
illumina, custodi,
rege et gubérna.
Amen.

Angel of God,
my guardian dear,
to whom God’s love commits me here,
ever this day be at my side,
to light and guard, to rule and guide.Amen.
