Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor: Britain is 'unfriendly' for religious people

Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor claims that the rise of secularism has led to a liberal society, hostile to Christian morals and values, in which religious belief is viewed as "a private eccentricity" and the voice of faith groups is marginalised.

The cardinal warns that Britain shows signs of degenerating into a country free of morals, because of its rejection of traditional values and its new emphasis on the rights of the individual.

There are now "serious tensions" between Christians and secularist society, he says, in which atheists are becoming more "vocal and aggressive".

Writing in a book on multiculturalism, to be published on Monday, the Cardinal argues that immigrants have a duty to adjust to British life, but expresses concern that they are faced with a culture that is increasingly repressive and intolerant. He says that while the country has become more diverse and pluralistic, the Christian values which have shaped its identity should not be abandoned.

He should just keep quiet morals and values. Doesn't he belong to RCC, well known for fucking little boys?

Where we have no crime or violence or related social problems.

wants to instruct us all in "morals" . . . ???

how about starting with youself, Cardinal. Join the Anglican church and change your name to an English one.

On Facebook someone called it: "The opinions of a venal, god bothering, pederast enabling, mealy mouthed bag of pus, who I'd not trust to feed pigs, let alone presume to instruct me on morality."

:rofl:

Tiny violins.

Did anyone notice this gem?This just in! Curtailing individual rights is a solution to social problems.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The minority is no longer content to sit in their little closet and venture out only to give tacit approval to the often bullying majority.

If there are serious tensions, maybe Christians need to ask why instead of blaming everybody else.
