Brave Bishop O'Donoghue
Patrick O'Donoghue, Bishop of Lancaster, has been forced formally to break the diocese of Lancaster's ties with the Catholic Caring Services, after it voted overwhelmingly to abandon its Catholic ethos rather than stand up to the British Government's new laws on adoption.
This has clearly been a very painful decision for Bishop O'Donoghue and he deserves our support. He is one of the only bishops of England and Wales who has been prepared to take a stand in defence of human life and the family at a time when the state is aggressively breaking down what little remains of British society's moral framework.
Please consider writing to Bishop O'Donoghue to thank him for his courageous leadership:
