Australia’s senior Catholic cleric has denounced politicians of that faith who defy church teachings.
With debates over euthanasia and gay marriage looming in 2011, Cardinal George Pell yesterday rebuked MPs who “fly under the Christian or Captain Catholic flag” but “blithely disregard Christian perspectives” when they vote in Parliament on moral issues such as same sex adoptions.
This is big from Cardinal Pell. The UK hierarchy isn’t generally known for their spinal or vocal strength..
#1: cruel, but fair.
Did you even read the article? Cardinal Pell is Archbishop of Sydney, [b]Australia[/b].
Good for the Cardinal!
#3, sorry, yes, I meant Oz, not UK.. although I suppose the same criticism could apply there as well!
