Right Reverend Mark Davies will use his midnight Mass to say marriage can only be between a man and a woman
The Bishop of Shrewsbury will say that both Hitler and Stalin challenged Christianity with the notion that what they were doing was ‘progress’
A senior Roman Catholic will today use his Christmas sermon to liken plans for the legalisation of gay marriage to the way the Nazis and Communists tried to undermine religion.
The Bishop of Shrewsbury will launch a vociferous attack on the Coalition’s decision to fast track a vote on same-sex marriage in the New Year.
The Right Reverend Mark Davies will use his midnight Mass to say marriage can only be between a man and a woman.
And he will accuse the Prime Minister of attempting to redefine the institution of marriage for ‘generations to come’ without any mandate from the electorate.
Most controversially, he will equate the support for same-sex marriage with the way totalitarian regimes acted in the twentieth century.
The bishop will say that both Hitler and Stalin challenged Christianity with the notion that what they were doing was ‘progress’.
He will argue that, in a similar fashion, the supporters of same-sex marriage also use the idea of ‘progress’ to support the ‘redefinition’ of marriage.
The bishop will conclude: ‘The British people have reason to ask on this night where is such progress leading?’

No US Catholic bishops have this much guts.
The Archbishop of Seattle, J. Peter Sartain does.
This article’s author is coming at this from a far-left perspective. What’s with the effort towards turning the Daily Mail into the Manchester Guardian?

Hmmm. Somebody is finally waking up.
What took you so long?
>> No US Catholic bishops have this much guts. <<
I disagree. If anything, US Catholic bishops have been much MORE outspoken than their British counterparts. I’m really shocked hearing a British bishop say this. They happily let Tony Blair become “Catholic” and claim to be a good practicing member while he openly promotes abortion and gay marriage.
