Surely, we can do this without taking a cue from those in Eccleston Square?<br /><br />God bless.<br />SoniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-57839372003575212972011-10-10T22:25:52.745+01:002011-10-10T22:25:52.745+01:00I am sure you are right, although it is sad to adm...I am sure you are right, although it is sad to admit it. Thirty or more years of listening and appeasing every step in the decline of society and the self-destruction of what was left of the Church's moral credibility by a few corrupt clergy and their more numerous apologists, have left their mark on the rest of us.MartinThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08477783154673312798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-7221919585187450252011-10-10T21:08:33.241+01:002011-10-10T21:08:33.241+01:00"Fixed term " aka sellby marriage licen..."Fixed term " aka sellby marriage licenses :the idea is not new, albeit not western: apparently, Persian mullahs make a mint out of temporay marriages licenses for as short as onenightstands with paid females...Mike Cliffsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06405021835510775527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-86400725300711124402011-10-10T17:19:26.181+01:002011-10-10T17:19:26.181+01:00When our primate cannot rule out gay marriage bein...When our primate cannot rule out gay marriage being acceptable, in time, in the Catholic Church on national TV we are in a pretty dire situation.fidelisjoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126244525059161896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-34945746415770413752011-10-10T15:40:04.465+01:002011-10-10T15:40:04.465+01:00I agree with your comments -

Actually, in terms of recent abortion amendments, abortion per se, euthanasia, the Children, Schools and Families Bill, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology bill, (the list goes on) it has amounted to nothing. <br /><br />In fact, I would go as far to say that our high flying Catholic diplomatic skills appear to be 'as much use as a chocolate tea pot'.<br /><br />Maybe it is time for a rethink on the way we do business with parliament.ORA PRO NOBIShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17546605493757534530noreply@blogger.com
