The Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales is sending out a million postcards calling on MPs to oppose the Government’s redefinition of marriage.
The postcards will be sent to parishes next week. Each card will have a space for people to sign their name so they can post it to their MP.
The text says that marriage is the “foundation of the family” and upholds the common good. It does not say anything about same-sex relationships.
Accompanying the cards will be a letter to all parish priests signed by Archbishop Peter Smith of Southwark, chairman of the bishops’ Department of Christian Responsibility and Citizenship.
In it, the archbishop says: “My purpose in writing is to ask you to urge the members of your congregation to make their own views known to their MP. (Thanks to The Catholic Herald:here )

    That's good but a march would be better. God bless Michael, keep up the good work. Richard

    Richard,
    Thank you for your comment-it is good indeed! I agree too that a march would be better no doubt. However, thank God I do believe that the tide of opinion is turning for better-thanks to you and other bloggers who are fighting the Church's corner also!

    God bless,

    Michael.
