Homosexual immoral ‘marriage’ bill will dissolve the glue holding society together: former Archbishop of Canterbury

Image
LONDON , April 2, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Gay “marriage” has little to do with “equality,” being in reality the result of “an aggressive secularist and relativist” mindset that intends to abolish the very foundations of western societies, according to George Carey, the former Archbishop of Canterbury. The result, he said, will be the “alienation of a large minority of people who only a few years ago would have been considered pillars of society.” Lord Carey said in an  op-ed in the Daily Mail  over the Easter weekend that it is “a bit rich” to hear Prime Minister David Cameron call upon Christians to “stand up and oppose aggressive secularisation” when it is he who is doing the most to push that agenda forward. Carey cited a ComRes poll that found more than two-thirds of Christians in Britain believe they are becoming a “persecuted minority”. Former Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey While such beliefs may be premature, he said, “the Prime Minister has don...

English: David Cameron's picture on the 10 Downing Street website (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) LONDON February 4, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – A ComRes poll released this weekend has shown that Prime Minister David Cameron ’s insistence on pushing through same-sex “marriage” will almost certainly cost him the government at the 2015 election. The poll, commissioned by the group Campaign for Marriage, has indicated just how damaging the issue has been for the Conservative party . It found that 20 per cent of Conservative Party voters agreed with the statement, “I would have considered voting Conservative at the next election but will definitely not if the Coalition Government legalises same-sex marriage”.    The numbers, while suggesting that a small majority of party voters support same-sex “marriage,” also show that the party has lost enough support that it will be impossible to win the next general election.    The marriage bill, described by the gover...

David Cameron faces ‘biggest Tory rebellion in modern times’ over gay ‘marriage’ plans

Image
LONDON, November 28, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – With nearly 120 MPs ready to rebel against David Cameron ’s plans to create same-sex “marriage,” a project that appeared in no Tory policy book during the last election campaign, the UK prime minister is facing a crucial test of his leadership of the Conservative Party . The Daily mail  revealed  this week that 118 Tory MPs have written to their constituents that they intend to oppose any bill brought forward to change the legal definition of marriage, a development that the Daily Mail is calling the “biggest Tory rebellion in modern times”. Parliamentary sources have said that a bill could be released “within a few weeks”. Since the announcement of the plan to redefine marriage in September 2011, the plan has met with steadily increasing opposition not only from conservative Christian groups, but from within Cameron’s own party. The government angered voters when its public consultation only allowed discussion on “how”...

This is something ... I personally feel very passionately about,” Cameron said. The comments came in spite of recent assurances to MPs and Cabinet members that Conservative MPs would be allowed a free vote...

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) UNITED KINGDOM , June 12, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Despite homosexual activists’ efforts to frame same-sex “marriage” as a pressing “gay rights” cause, a new poll finds that redefining marriage is a low priority for many homosexuals in the United Kingdom. The  poll , conducted by the UK-based polling firm ComRes at the request of Catholic Voices, found that just half of gays and lesbians in the UK consider it important to extend marriage to same-sex couples, while only 27% say they would marry their partner if they could. A quarter of respondents said there was no need to introduce gay “marriage,” because civil unions already provided all the same rights...
