Battle against God’s laws

Following the comments made by the Malta Confederation of Women’s Organisations on Bishop Mario Grech’s homily on abortion (Times of Malta, May 16 and 17), there is only one remark I feel that I should make.

This would not be to show any such thing as ‘anger’, as the confederation itself has done, but to express feelings of sorrow at the plight of religion and God’s laws in these islands. Just that!

Even when I recall to such scenes as those presented by processions with effigies of Our Lady of Sorrows or the ‘courageous’ manifestations of religiosity on the Granaries at Floriana.

And no need to call to my mind the efforts of some good souls against the God-condemned doctrines on such things as divorce and prohibited ‘unions’! But, then, bygone are the days when our ancestors believed such warnings as “Take care lest My mercy give place to My justice” (Message of Merciful Love by Marguerite, 1986, p. 161).

A real pity we are not given the ‘thousands’ of names which make up certain organisations we so often see making a lot of noise in their battling against God’s and the Church’s laws!
