However sincerely a particular MP may convey them to us, the record shows that they are very easily breakable.Dorothy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858061638961520926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244518294586284355.post-32992888260433368282013-01-30T08:39:36.678+00:002013-01-30T08:39:36.678+00:00Remember that the proposed legislation has two sep...Remember that the proposed legislation has two separate entities - one set of criteria and conditionals for heterosexual marriage and another for same-sex unions. The former containing consummation/annulment/divorce on grounds of adultery; the latter having none of these but an additional 'joint parental right' over any child. Once the 'inequality/discrimination' fights proceed through the courts all these differences will be abolished and the resultant entity will be a universalised civil partnership - and the entity once known as marriage will be abolished. And here's the crux - given the intrinsically unjust nature of this 'new marriage' entity - will we be allowed to participate in it? [Evangelium Vitae 73 74] Formal and Proximate material co-operation in that which promotes living in sin and invalidates the union of the baptised? It's a grave consideration.On the side of the angelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05558623489507006790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244518294586284355.post-6309184260615548712013-01-29T22:39:10.637+00:002013-01-29T22:39:10.637+00:00I would not wish you to amend your letter,I have n...I would not wish you to amend your letter,I have no discernment about how to do this sort of thing.<br />Also,a point of mine below is to some extant sidetracking.cf Legalizing abortion - the thing is total repeal, because of the total evil - conscience exemption clauses a reargard skirmish after the battle is lost.<br />Nonetheless, in your MPs letter below there are a number of guarantees he reports about, eg assurances to him that churches will not be abliged by the European court etc etc .<br />He personally may well be sincere in believing such - my experience after 6o-odd years on this planet is that such assurances last minutes, days , week or months , in some few cases years or even decades, but end up falling. I am sure I need not go into detail.<br />It would be a good thing for politicians to realize just HOW much such betrayals have sapped social morality and their own Moral authority- if I had any recipe for so convincing them Id be doing it, Instead of justr adding my name or form letters to every iniciative going- whereas, at least no rosary, public or private, is wasted. But we are commanded to be cunning as serpeants as well, so given the Holy spirit's aid, Jesus only tells us to do the possible.<br />God blessMike Cliffsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06405021835510775527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244518294586284355.post-64483222731458451012013-01-29T07:45:54.184+00:002013-01-29T07:45:54.184+00:00Excellent, thanks youExcellent, thanks youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
