Magic Statistics (Scott Gilbreath): Tom Wright denounces Labour government over gay adoption rules

Tony Blair has announced that Catholic adoption agencies will not be granted an exemption from new laws requiring them to consider homosexuals as adoptive parents.  The new rules will not become effective until the end of 2008 but, in the meantime, faith-based agencies will be required to refer homosexual applicants to other agencies.

Ruth Gledhill, intrepid religion correspondent for The Times of London, reports Bishop of Durham Tom Wright’s scathing attack on the government for its decision.  While talking to him about another matter, she took the opportunity to ask him his opinion.  Bishop Tom then took the opportunity to unload. …

    The Catholic Encyclopedia says:
    Paul was short of stature; the Pseudo-Chrysostom calls him “the man of three cubits” (anthropos tripechys); he was broad-shouldered, somewhat bald, with slightly aquiline nose, closely-knit eyebrows, thick, greyish beard, fair complexion, and a pleasing and affable manner. He was afflicted with a malady which is difficult to diagnose (cf. Menzies, “St. Paul’s Infirmity” in the Expository Times”, July and Sept., 1904), but despite this painful and humiliating infirmity (2 Corinthians 12:7-9; Galatians 4:13-14) and although his bearing was not impressive (2 Corinthians 10:10), Paul must undoubtedly have been possessed of great physical strength to have sustained so long such superhuman labours (2 Corinthians 11:23-29). Pseudo-Chrysostom, “In princip. apostol. Petrum et Paulum” (in P. G., LIX, 494-95), considers that he died at the age of sixty-eight after having served the Lord for thirty-five years.
