One parent spoke out yesterday [ evidently the hats are made at home], saying that they'd write EASTER in big letters ' all over the damn things'. Another government school in the same state will continue to acknowledge Easter, but only after they asked the Sikh community first. Why Sikhs,I don't know. I would have suggested maybe because they can't wear bonnets, but I don't like being satirical about others beliefs. One NewSouthWales state politician (you'll be glad to know his name is Kelly) was good enough to publicly remark that we can't be an inclusive society if we don't share traditions of our ownSéamusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-27597053103487146312017-04-06T06:16:00.393-07:002017-04-06T06:16:00.393-07:00I'd never heard of her before, by the way.I'd never heard of her before, by the way.Maolsheachlannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406722311993627528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-46911895019809352352017-04-06T06:14:07.279-07:002017-04-06T06:14:07.279-07:00I admire her for her stand on same-sex marriage, b...I admire her for her stand on same-sex marriage, but she seems to be yet another open borders fanatic-- not much respect for that. Besides, the Saudi Arabia thing is an irrelevance in my view-- a completely different matter.<br /><br />I'm happy to say that the Christian societies in my university have heavily advertised a Stations of the Cross and "true meaning of Easter" poster.Maolsheachlannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406722311993627528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-65722855476008687892017-04-06T05:42:08.094-07:002017-04-06T05:42:08.094-07:00Yes, well done to Theresa May for this.

Apparently she has given up crisps for Lent, which if true is worth noting.<br /><br />Sarah Teather's remark surprised me: I thought she was a serious Catholic. She participates in a scheme that offers a year's internship in Parliament for young Catholics hoping to enter public life and voted against the same-sex marriage bill, which was a pretty bold stand for a Liberal Democrat to make. Perhaps she has let her politics trump her faith with this comment? Her assertion that we are rather too cosy with (apart from merely tolerant of) Saudi Arabia, in its current mood at least, is not unjustified.<br /><br />You're right that it isn't a trivial matter. Words matter. In any case, can't these people hear how cheap and colourless the secularised version sounds?Dominic Nhttp://some-definite-service.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
