Can you guess the policy?

See how many clues it takes you to work out what policy this person is talking about.

It is a policy promoted “at the behest of a small minority of activists”.

It is not a minor policy for “it will redefine society”.

What’s more “it will have huge implications for what is taught in our schools”.

It even involves an “attempt to redefine reality”.

Not in a good way, for it “represents a grotesque subversion of a universally accepted human right”. And not merely that, for it will “demolish a universally recognised human right” too. Demolish and grotesquely subvert. Now we’re talking.

And please, think of the children. “It would create a society which deliberately chooses to deprive a child of either a mother or a father.”

But wait, that’s still not all. “Other dangers exist” too.

So no wonder that, if the policy goes ahead, the government “will have forfeited the trust which society has placed in them and their intolerance will shame the United Kingdom in the eyes of the world”.

Can you guess?

One final clue: the person in question is Cardinal Keith O’Brien, Britain’s most senior Catholic.

And the policy? Gay marriage.
