Dear Sir/Madam,

CONTRA NANDO INCREMENTUM - SWIMMING AGAINST THE TIDE

Cardinal O’Brien is acting like King Canute in resisting the tide of gay marriage as I fear that the political classes in the UK have swallowed the homosexual agenda and it will be permitted whatever the public has to say.

Perhaps he would have more success in persuading the government to allow the use of police and courts to enforce Canon Law on members of his Church thus discouraging them from such abominable sexual practices let alone their public proclamation in a civilly sanctioned ceremony. Whilst not protecting the morals of those who are not Catholics, it would do much to elevate the status of his members amongst other morally focussed groups who do not share their religious dogma.

And our devout Muslim citizens would surely encourage the similar enforcement of Sharia Law, although I would hope that no UK court would ever go so far as to enforce a capital penalty.
