Cardinal Keith O'Brien will not have same-sex marriage talks with the Scottish government

Posted on August 22, 2012 by Kendall Harmon

Scotland’s Roman Catholic leader – Cardinal Keith O’Brien – has suspended direct communication with the Scottish government on gay marriage.

The move is in protest at the Scottish government’s support for the introduction of same-sex marriages.

The cardinal has turned down an invitation to discuss the issue, leaving any talks to officials.
