Edit: David Cameron is trying to fill the shoes of the Fisherman and run a fast one past the Archbishop of Canterbury, but he's not having it, the exchange as follows:
The Archbishop of Canterbury is not particularly disposed to 'huge rows', but he's not very happy about this proposal. And there are one or two Anglican bishops who are disposed to rows, and one or two more in the Roman Catholic Church, not to mention a couple of thousand in other Christian denominations and religions. Mr Cameron is of the opinion that ‘if our Lord Jesus was around today he would very much be backing a strong agenda on equality and equal rights, and not judging people on their sexuality’.
When he uttered those words, His Grace begged to differ, saying that if Our Lord Jesus were around today, there is nothing at all to suggest that he would be remotely interested in talking about ‘equality’ or ‘rights’: he would be preaching the gospel, in season and out, and calling on people to repent of their sin and prepare for the coming of the Kingdom.
But Mr Cameron doesn't do that kind of Jesus.
Here's the article and some of the back ground. Link is here in a very scathing article by Cramner.
Government to legislate for 'gay marriage'
It has been announced that the Coalition is to press ahead with legislation to permit 'gay marriage'. It is to be preceded by a consultation, but the purpose of such a consultation is unclear when the decision has already been taken a priori to legislate for the change. A consultation which does not consult cannot be a consultation. But then a marriage which does not marry cannot be a marriage.
