Much of The Catholic Herald’s content – letters, reviews, news, extra comment and features – is not available online. This week, Archbishop Patrick Kelly of Liverpool explains why children in his archdiocese will be confirmed before their first Holy Communion; retired headmaster John de Waal argues that the pro-life movement is in danger of failing the unborn; Quentin de la Bédoyère says the TV series, The Joy of Teen Sex, does a big injustice to young people; and Deborah Jones argues that Benedict XVI's childhood in the countryside in Bavaria has left a deep imprint on his thinking. Plus, Angelo Stagnaro hangs on for dear life 1,200ft above a small town in Umbria.
