Speak up!

Mrs Lloyd was sleepily listening to Sunday today on Radio 4. She heard the RCs clearly had opposed creating animal-human embryos. The C of E bishop fudged. The RCs are often good at making a stand over things like abortion and they don't seem to mind so much being out of step with the spirit of the age.

You remember the old quip, of course, along the lines that "if you marry the spirit of the age you'll find yourself widowed in the next."

We might learn a thing or two from some of our RC brothers.
