Dylan Parry represented the Guild of Blessed Titus Brandsma yesterday at a meeting convened by Jamie Bogle of the Catholic Union to explore ways of opposing the government's plans for same-sex "marriage". Members of the Coalition for Marriage were present as well as representatives from a number of other groups. You can see the full list at Dylan's post: Catholic groups unite forces to oppose 'gay marriage' - In promoting traditional marriage, we're all in this together!
It is encouraging to see this grass roots opposition growing. The Coalition for Marriage petition has nearly reached half a million. If you have not signed, or if you can get a few more people to sign up, now is the time. Also a good time to send in any half-filled sheets of signatures - you can always get more forms.
I do recommend that we all use quotation marks when writing about same-sex "marriage." Thinking about this, I wonder how long it will be before we are fined for using them.

Dear Fr,
I would like to know your take on this, as I think there will be more reporting on it.
I saw on Facebook earlier some old school friends planning to petition the school to oppose the CES's recent statement to schools.
What is it about? The CES is encouraging schools to sign the c4m.org.uk petition.

Yes, I saw this story today. Will follow up on it. The secularists will be satisfied with nothing less than the closure of Catholic schools and in the meantime will harass schools for teaching anything geuninely Catholic.
