Well, here we go again. Cardinal O'Brien of Scotland vomited his hate speech by saying this:
To allow the unions entered into by same-sex couples to be legally referred to as "marriage" rather than civil partnership would, thinks O'Brien, represent a violation of human rights equivalent to the legalisation of slavery. It would shame the nation. It would be "madness", "arrogant", a "great wrong", an attempt to "redefine reality" at the behest of "a small minority of activists". It would be the next step down a slippery-slope: before we knew where we were, he told John Humphrys, "further aberrations would be taking place and society would be degenerating even further than it already has into immorality".

Seems that there is a no end to the number of celibate clergy who are obsessed with other people's sex lives.
I simply think Catholic bishops are blind to the fact that they have no moral authority any more. Or perhaps they simply refuse to acknowledge this fact.
