Chief Rabbi backs Pope’s condemnation of equality laws

Chief Rabbi backs Pope’s condemnation of equality laws

Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks has said Pope Benedict XVI’s attack on the Government’s equality legislation should be taken seriously.

Writing in The Times on Wednesday, Mr Sacks said: “We may not agree with the Vatican line on homosexuality. But the State is trampling on our rights as individuals.”

The Pope told bishops from England and Wales that the Government’s equality legislation had served to “impose unjust limitations on the freedom of religious communities to act in accordance with their beliefs”.


Alongside this, what we're seeing is increasing friendliness on the part of Israeli religious leaders, and journals to the Papacy, is a story about one German Catholic's friendship with a Jewish survivor of Auschwitz, here.
