Dear Sir/Madam,

UNWANTED SUPPORT

I fear that support from the Roman Catholic Church is in danger of polluting perfectly reasonable opposition to same-sex marriage.

A Church rocked by often substantiated charges of child sexual abuse of both genders by its Priests can expect little public credibility for its teachings on other sexual matters. And the fact that the Catholic hierarchy sat back and allowed one of its most influential priests, the late Father Anthony Ross OP, to be not only a notorious homosexualist but also one of the founders of the erstwhile Scottish Homosexual Rights Group can only lead to further accusations of "Do as I say not as I do".

Whilst the person in the pew may not see the irony of a Church riddled with practitioners of aberrant sexual activities opposing same-sex marriage, the person in the street certainly will.
