On reading about Canon Lawrence Zammit’s lashing out against gay marriage (February 11), what shocked me the most was the fact that there are still clergymen attempting to sweep out democracy and have the Church reign supreme over the publicat large.

Apart from that, does Canon Zammit think that by not introducing civil partnership for gay folk they will therefore change their ways? Gay folk have long lived together and as such nothing new will be introduced, but simply recognised, as was the casewith divorce.
