At Masses this weekend, we receive a Letter from Archbishops Vincent Nichols and Peter Smith on behalf of the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales. It is a statement of our Catholic faith about marriage and issued in the light of the forthcoming consultation by the UK Government on changing the legal definition of marriage.
The Archbishops also say that after Easter there will be a more detailed leaflet on the UK Government’s consultation itself, for distribution in parishes, to assist Catholics in making their own response to the consultation.
