In the course of his address the Holy Father sent his greetings to Her Majesty the Queen, her government and to all of us.
I was glad to see that the Holy Father lent his support to my interpretation of the recent riots ;-)
As you pointed out in your speech, your Government wishes to employ policies that are based on enduring values that cannot be simply expressed in legal terms. This is especially important in the light of events in England this summer. When policies do not presume or promote objective values, the resulting moral relativism, instead of leading to a society that is free, fair, just and compassionate, tends instead to produce frustration, despair, selfishness and a disregard for the life and liberty of others.

James Cleverly is the London Assembley Member for Bexley and Bromley, I think you will find this post and associated comments (bottom to top) of great interest as we approach the Papal Mass in Berlin, and the first official meeting of the Guild of Blessed Titus Brandsma at Our Lady of the Rosary, Blackfen on 1st October 2011 :
James Cleverly - Very pleased that Bernard Hogan-Howe is the New Met Commissioner. He topped a very strong field http://www.facebook.com/james.cleverly
Our Lady of the Rosary ( http://the-hermeneutic-of-continuity.blogspot.com/2011/05/visit-to-tomb-of-blessed-john-paul-ii.html ) pray for us!
PAPA VERO ORA PRO NOBIS!
God Save the Queen!
