Catholic Church vs Democracy
The Catholic Church is calling for Gordon Brown to allow a free vote on the latest bill to do with stem cell research using embryos. Personally I believe all votes in parliament should be free but this is not what the church is saying. What they actually want is for MP’s to vote with their consience, in other words by their religion. My local MP is their to represent his constituents and not his religion. How on earth is this democracy?
MP’s should consult people who are experts in this field and then only vote once they are more informed on the subject. This is democracy!
The church used to play a part in politics many years ago and it was called the ‘dark ages’ for a reason. The world is not flat and we do not imprison men of science any more. Most of us listen and learn from them, unless of course God has told us otherwise.
