Archbishop Charles Scicluna this evening described today as "a sad day for Malta" as Parliament approved the Bill decriminalising the vilification of religion.

In a tweet, he said: "Demeaning God and man indeed go hand in hand. A sad day for Malta. Lord forgive them: they do not know what they do."

The Bill, which also amends the Criminal Code and introduces revenge porn as a crime, was today approved at third reading.
