Opinion Paper by the Interdiocesan Commission for the Environment on Sustainable Development

17/10/2013

  • L-istqarrija tiffoka partikolarment fuq il-ħtieġa urġenti li kull żvilupp f’pajjiżna jkun sostenibbli. Fl-imgħoddi, stili ta’ ħajja u modi ta’ ħsieb żbaljati dwar x’inhu żvilupp, taw lok għal deċiżjonijiet li spiss kellhom impatt negattiv qawwi fuq il-kwalità ta’ ħajjitna. Għaldaqstant hemm bżonn ta’ direzzjoni ċara fejn il-ġid komuni jgawdi prijorità assoluta.

Statement by the Maltese Bishops on the Civil Unions Bill

  • Statement by the Maltese Bishops on the Civil Unions Bill

  • In the light of the discussion which will be taking place in Parliament regarding the Bill on Civil Unions, we Bishops would like to offer this reflection, our duty being solely that of proclaiming the Good News out of the conviction that, as Pope Francis states, faith “does not merely grant interior firmness” to the believer, but “it also sheds light on every human relationship because it is born of love and reflects God’s own love”.1

    Although the Bill is introducing various new elements in reference to marriage and family, which call for a profound and ponderate reflection, it seems that a particular novelty of this Bill is the registration of a partnership as a civil union between two persons of the same sex…
