THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Britain risks “falling into darkness” with its citizens unable to distinguish between good and evil due to the marginalisation of Christianity, a Roman Catholic bishop will warn tomorrow.
The Rt Rev Mark Davies, the Bishop of Shrewsbury, will say the country was at a crossroads and that the fate of future generations rested on the decisions made today about how we choose to live our lives.
He will use his Easter homily to highlight how the Christian faith has sustained and underpinned British life, its laws and aspirations for centuries.
Without it, he will warn, there will be nothing to defend the value of human life.
“Commentators have been puzzled that the Church and the Pope’s concern for the poorest is combined with an uncompromising defence of marriage as the union of man and woman; of the family as the vital unit of society; of the unborn routinely destroyed, frozen, manipulated for our purposes; and of the dignity of the aged threatened in many societies by a killing which calls itself ‘mercy’,” he will tell the congregation at Shrewsbury Cathedral. » | Victoria Ward | Saturday, March 30, 2013
