The Primate of All Ireland, Cardinal Sean Brady said yesterday that the proposed Civil Partnership Bill would hugely change peoples concepts of the family. Has he not noticed that the makeup of the Irish family has been steadily changing long before any proposed Civil Partnership Bill was ever mentioned? I find it quiet ironic that he chose to come out with such a statement, considering he is the leader of an organisation that has destroyed so many families because of its previous close relationship with the state. One doesn't need to look too far to see examples of this. Would this be a good juncture to mention the Ryan Report, Cardinal Brady?
While I recognise the church has a roll to play in society and that it's entitled to its opinion. I feel that the church should keep its nose out of government matters such as the Civil Partnership Bill. After all, who elected the Catholic church to run the country?
