An extract from Fr. James' Sunday Homily.
The current conflict between the Church and what the Government wishes to make law is a prime example of the Church speaking with a prophetic voice. It is a conflict of values, of where society is going, of the place and dignity of the family and of marriage, and what kind of environment we want to provide for our children. The Church has no choice but to protest at a law which threatens the liberty of adoptive societies. It would force them to act against their conscience and against basic Christian values. Our society is in moral freefall. Ordinary people have very little to guide them in their moral choices. All the more reason for us, the Church, to stand by our beliefs and our values even if, like Jeremiah, like Jesus, we are perceived to go against the grain of accepted wisdom.
