Bishop Kieran Conry of Arundel and Brighton Diocese has 'missed' a critical chance to speak out against proposed legislation by the Coalition Government on same-sex "marriage".
In his rather yawn inducing pastoral letter issued on the great feast of The Holy Family, he speaks about the "family" structure in excellent sociological terms and there's even a passing reference to God and the Gospel of the day but......and it's an important but, there is not a mention of the fact that Holy Matrimony is a Sacrament intended to sanctify the union of one man and one woman and that any deviation from that would be in direct opposition to Church teaching and to the Holy Father's guidance on the matter.
How could one of our Bishops overlook the issue of gay "marriage"?
Was it an oversight?
Or was it just another Bishop flying the colours of weak liberalism?
Answers on a postard please.
