From the Catholic Herald (14/11/08), in part: St Paul's School for Girls in Edgbaston, Birmingham, had invited former Labour Minister Miss Short, an old girl, to be guest of honour at an awards ceremony today.
But her invitation was retracted following vociferous complaints from parents and priests of the Birmingham Oratory, who objected to her voting record on abortion and her support for the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill.
Why do these 'Catholic' MPs think they will still be welcomed in Catholic institutions having just voted for the most horrific laws? And why do those entrusted with the stewardship of Catholic institutions think it would appropriate to invite them? Perhaps this is beginning to change. Well done to Jackie Parkes, all the parents of the school, and to the priests of the Birmingham Oratory.

Well done. Catholics must stand up and be counted on this pernicious legislation.
