Archbishop Says Government Should Stay Out of the Bedroom

“The state has no business telling us who we should love and how, sexually or otherwise,” [Fisher] told the St Mary’s Cathedral congregation.

Holy crap, I wholeheartedly agree! But then he immediately goes of the rails....

“The only kind of friendship the state has a proper interest in recognising and regulating is heterosexual marriage, because that’s what leads to children — new citizens — and gives them the best start in life.”

Fisher said it was best for children to have a mother and a father, and that’s what marriage was about.

It just reminds everyone that they have centuries of astoundingly awful sexual abuse to account for.
