BISHOP OPPOSES POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
The Bishop of Motherwell in Scotland asked Catholics to stop "cowering" before the government:
The Rt Rev Joseph Devine warned Christians against the "creeping political correctness" that was stifling religious expression.
In an address to a Motherwell audience, the bishop said: "The Church needs to rediscover a political voice and stop cowering before the apparatus of government and its politically approved doctrines. The situation is that there are people in authority in this country who are determined to stamp out all Christian influence.
"They regard the Church as a social nuisance."
