Just a few minutes in front of a working computer before I have to go and get on the aeroplane so I thought I would quickly repost the graphic that has resulted in the ludicrous investigation of Cranmer by the Advertising Standards Authority. I am glad that there is at least an update to the story that I can post now that His Grace has responded to the ASA. I'll have to read the full response later but it does look fun.

Nobly done, Father, and love the reference. I hope others may take your cue.
I'm Spartacus!
The ASA has form. It is not a statutory body, but a self-selected body established by the media industry to police advertisements for accuracy etc. It has extended this role, seeking to impose censorship over a wide range of material, including publicity put out by campaigning organisations such as pro-life groups. Its criteria seem to be very much in line with the liberal-fascist agenda of the Frankfurt School.
However, I suspect they have over-reached themselves this time, what with even the National Secular Society supporting the old heretic.
This is so beautiful and I put that scene from Spartacus on my blog ages ago. Yes, we all need to stand up, especially since our judas, the so-called leader of the free world, Obama, has undermined Truth, yet again.
God help us all.
Preposterous, but a very amusing response from His Grace! That said, I don't think it's a good ad - a rather spectacular own goal, I'd have thought. It emphasizes the very things – 'the wedding', smiley, happy faces and commitment – that the equality people are after. It doesn't convey anything about the distinctive nature of marriage itself. Where are the children?
