Same-sex marriage is one area where co-operation would be useful. <br /><br />Some years ago the anti-Catholic elements in the Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth managed to get two Muslims appointed to the Ethics Committee which was supposed to oversee the application of Catholic teaching in the Hospital. I suppose they imagined this would dilute the committee's catholicity. In fact they made a big mistake as one of the Muslims, a leading cancer specialist, was extremely effective in uncovering gender reassignment operations and raising questions about the excessive numbers of operations described as post-miscarriage remedial action.Nicolas Bellordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08063019108964247676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-4795301689791161172012-12-19T21:06:22.779+00:002012-12-19T21:06:22.779+00:00Why don't people rally against them and call t...Why don't people rally against them and call them bigots like they do Catholics?
