Unprecedented turnout signals heightened priority for pro-life witness in Britain.
A record fourteen Catholic bishops from across Great Britain will attend this year’s March for Life UK in London — double last year’s number — with the Archbishop of Westminster set, for the first time, to take part and celebrate the opening Mass.
The fourteen include the leaders of three of Britain’s principal archdioceses — Archbishop Richard Moth of Westminster, Archbishop Bernard Longley of Birmingham, and Archbishop John Wilson of Southwark — as well as other ordinaries with jurisdictions across England, Scotland, and Wales.
“It is hard to think of another event, or cause, that receives this level of support from the hierarchy of the Church,” the March for Life UK organizers said in a June 2 statement. “Their presence demonstrates the primary importance that the Church places on this key and fundamental issue.”
