Cardinal Keith O’Brien has written to Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon warning her that she risks destroying religious liberty in Scotland by insisting upon legalising same-sex ”˜marriage.’
The cardinal’s letter notes the bishops of Scotland are ”˜deeply disappointed’ that the Scottish Government decided to proceed with its plans to re-define marriage two weeks ago ”˜especially because the government simply ignored its own consultation.’
That consultation ”˜returned a result of two to one against the redefinition of marriage, showing quite emphatically that there was little will for the legalisation of same-sex ”˜marriage’ among those who responded to the consultation,” the cardinal writes.
