In a lecture at Westminster Cathedral on the Catholic Church's future, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor has claimed that UK anti-discrimination legislation is being used to limit freedom of religion “in unacceptable ways”.
The outgoing spiritual head of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales says the state needs to acquire a better understanding of the contribution and place of faith in British society.
He continued: “Legislation on discrimination, much of it good in itself, is now being used to limit freedom of religion in unacceptable ways. The sad and totally needless conflict over the Catholic adoption agencies is one example."
