I have a suggestion for all our believers. If you do not agree with the stance your church adopts on such matters as contraception, abortion, women priests, homosexuality, methods of dealing with abusive clerics, etc. could you not start a grass-roots revolution and let the church leaders know how you feel? Irish Catholics have shown their feelings by leaving the church in droves.
Outsiders like myself can only lobby MPs to prevent antediluvian attitudes continuing to ruin lives. You could actually effect change. 'For evil to triumph it is only necessary that good men do nothing'.
