Sorry, the letter you gave a link to was one that many priests referred to, but either The Catholic Herald is right or The BBC are right. The BBC reported that many priests gave their own more forthright interpretation.

In any event, the letter you linked to was appalling, bigoted, prejudiced and abhorrent. It says that marriage can only be between man and woman as the aim of marriage is children. Doesn't say much for the unfortunates who cannot conceive, those too old to conceive and those who do not plan to have children then.

So.. Let's sum up. Sexist wedding vows, oppression of not only Gay people but anybody who cannot conceive... I feel a Godwin moment coming on...
