As a Catholic, I cannot be in favour of the adoption of children by gay couples. Not because Bishop Charles Scicluna says so; not even because Pope Francis and the Catholic Church say so, but because in my humble opinion this goes against nature itself.

Thus I feel it’s high time for our Catholic MPs to stand up and be counted when this Bill is presented in Parliament.

The adoption of children by gay couples is not a basic, human right. It is wrong to copy other countries simply for the sake of it. Surely this is not the way to demonstrate that we are progressive Malta.
