Judge Thee Not

David cameron doesn't get everything wrong. So he should at least be applauded for doing the right thing which is for once, actually "bold and fair". Allowing gay couples to marry only adjusts citizens' rights to be accessible to all and makes up for long standing historical discrimination.
Surely no-one could begrudge gay couples their happiness and public commitment to each other?
Step forward Cardinal Keith O'Brien pouring out a stream of hateful bile where he made comparisons to "slavery" concluding with the words " if the UK does go for same sex marriage it is indeed shaming our country."
Well, shame on you, your Eminence.
He relied heavily for his thesis on the 2,000 years of prejudice and the "natural" law. There was precious little logic and his suggestion that gay marraige violated others' human rights was perverse indeed. The Catholic church, of which I am a member, has an unhappy history based on its failure to adapt to even old ideas of marraige. Many of the abuses of that church can be traced back to extreme views contrary to "nature" such celibacy in priests.
Another promnent catholic, Rick Santorum, fighting to be Republican candidate, has said his first action as President would be to anull every same sex marriage. What an extra-ordinary message to give to the people. Where there is harmony, let us bring discord.
