[ Newspaper articles ]I've been really impressed with some of the thing that have been said in our papers lately! Thanks to people like Scott and others the Christian values and ideas that our country once held dear are being expressed!
This was taken from The "SIDESWIPE" column in the NZ Herald today - 26.08.2003.
If only Bill English was Prime Minister these NZ Catholic readers would have nothing to complain about:
"It was announced in our parish newsletter that the Prime Minister, Helen Clark, will be special guest for the celebration and blessing of the refurbished administration block and library at our local Catholic school. Gee, isn't it great to have such a special guest who doesn't believe in God, is openly pro-abortion, pro-euthanasia, pro-homosexual law reform and whose Government's policies devalue marriage and undermine family values. How appropriate is that? Was it really so hard to find anybody who promotes Christian values, rather than somebody so diametrically opposed to them? Is it really any wonder it is generally thought Catholics have lost the plot and have no credibility in today's society? What next? Bishop Pat Dunn opening an abortion clinic? It seems anything is possible.

PS: Sorry, Bishop Pat!"
