QUOTEUNQUOTE What others have said:

Bishop of Durham, Tom Wright “This completely fails to take into account the
views and beliefs of all those involved. ...the idea that new Labour can come up with a new morality which it forces on the Catholic Church
after 2,000 years; I am sorry, this is amazing arrogance on the part of the Government.” The Times, 30 January 2007

Federation of Synagogues “This legislation is forcing religious groups to operate
against their convictions and that sets a very dangerous precedent.”
The Jewish Chronicle, 2 February 2007

Muslim Council of Britain

“The Muslim Council of Britain fully supports the principled stand taken
by the leaders of the Catholic and Anglican churches on the Sexual
Orientation Regulations (SOR). The right to practise one’s faith... is a
cornerstone of our society...” MCB Press Release, 25 January 2007

Cardinal Keith O’Brien

“The role of the state is overreached when it tramples legitimate moral freedoms and when it imposes values which are without rational
and sociological merit...” The Catholic Herald, 21 July 2006
