I would like to make an impassioned appeal to stop further onslaughts on traditional Catholic values that have always upheld the Maltese family.

A Pope, whose wisdom is a gift of God, recommended the faithful to strive for an even better knowledge of Catholic teachings and values.

Even if sometimes the Church’s message is difficult to accept, let it be known that in such teachings one can find a solution to fundamental questions.

Another Pope exhorted the Maltese to be proud of having a country that defends and promotes a strong family life by saying no to divorce and same-sex marriage.

The collective amnesia in Parliament to heed such words of wisdom was indeed a bolt from the blue. It seems that the bolt was a direct hit on “this treasure on vessels of clay” (St Paul), which are now well and truly cracked.

I can only ring an alarm bell but I am sure there are still influential people and MPs around who can trigger the panic button to stop the further degradation of our Catholic heritage.
