...with a friend, a young mum with children of school age and pre-school. She recently attended a meeting to discuss the Govt's plans to redefine marriage, and saw some of the books produced for children to teach them about same-sex unions.

Contrary to popular belief, schools do NOT have to teach the currently fashionable/Govt official line on sexual matters and marriage: a Catholic school is free to teach the Christian message on this as on other issues. What matters next is how to ensure that this freedom is retained - and that Catholic teachers understand this and know the Catholic message...
