Stone Wall accuses Cardinal Keith O'Brien of bigotry. Politician of the year award to Ruth Davidson. Bu posting this am I too being coralled into the Cathilic camp? This is not a simple Scottish piece of news. |

I thought the Cardinal/his advisers made a mistake in responding to this news. Gerry |

Why not? Christ was silent? Who do we take our lead from Christ or Alastair Campbell? Gerry |

My first thought was that the Church should ignore this "award". Then I read the statement from the Catholic Church in Scotland:

Gerry, All that's required for evil to flourish is that good men do nothing. (Edmund Burke) Jesus chose to stay silent on His own behalf; we must speak on behalf of the common good. Eileenanne |

If I were Cardinal O'Brien, I'd accept the award graciously. |

I don't think he does graciously. |

You don't really want me to lay into the Cardinal and nor do I. I will leave it where it is. |

Cardinal O'Brien would do well to reserve his intemperate language for speaking to his own people about the part played by some of them in sectarian violence at football matches. |
