Laudato Si week will soon be here (June 12-19). One way to show concern for God’s creatures and support for the Pope’s call to action regarding ‘our common home’, is to sign my petition asking the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales to establish a Committee to address the moral aspect of our treatment of animals. Concern for animals is an aspect of Christian duty which is lacking in the teaching and organisation of the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales. This Committee will be a significant step forward for animals and for the Church.

Many thanks,
