It’s good to see some MPs doing their job and offering serious analysis of such dangerous draft legislation.

Very disappointed that STV News offered such an imbalanced piece on Holyrood Assisted Dying Bill on tonight’s 6pm News. Why such bias in favour? #assistedyingbill

Many poignant memories being back in Stromness on 13th April, the anniversary of the death of George Mackay Brown who was, I would contend, Scotland’s greatest Catholic writer. We remembered him at Sunday Mass. Rest in peace, George. #GeorgeMackayBrown #orkney

As the start of Eastertide, when Christians celebrate Christ’s rising from the dead, we pray that Pope Francis will know the peace of eternal life. Requiescat in Pace.

A humble servant, voice for the forgotten, & tireless advocate for peace & compassion. Pope Francis showed that true leadership is measured not in power, but in service to others. May his example inspire us to strive for greater compassion, service & love in our own lives. RIP

Many of our schools begin a new term tomorrow. Our teachers will be thinking about how to present the sad news of the death of Pope Francis, who was much loved by our young people. This message from the Holy Father to young people from Christus Vivit may be helpful. #PopeFrancis

Good interview also with Bishop Keenan this morning on BBC Radio Scotland

O God, immortal shepherd of souls, look on your people's prayers and grant that your servant Pope Francis, who presided over your Church in charity, may, with the flock entrusted to his care, receive from your mercy the reward of a faithful servant. #PopeFrancis

This more evidence that the Scottish Parliament itself is not fit for purpose. Shameful behaviour.

On #WorldCommunicationsDay, I would like to repeat Pope Francis’ invitation to tell stories of hope and disarm communication of all prejudice, resentment, and fanaticism. Let us share a different outlook on the world through communication that is disarmed and disarming.
