Brompton Oratory Provost tells pro-assisted suicide MPs not to receive Communion

The Very Reverend Julian Large has pleaded, in fraternal charity, with MPs who voted in favour of either abortion up until birth or assisted suicide not to present themselves to receive Holy Communion.

Fr Large is Provost of the Brompton Oratory in London, a community of 10 priests who are part of the Congregation of the Oratory of St Philip Neri.

According to a source close to the Herald, during his Sunday homily at the church in the Diocese of Westminster, London, he reflected on the recent example of an MP who had voted in favour of assisted suicide, and who was told by his parish priest that he must not receive Communion unless he had repented.
