“There's a natural tendency for children to, in some sense, inherit the cultural values of their parents. I'm not against that, that's fine, that's wonderful. What I am against is labelling.

Nobody ever labels a child a socialist or a conservative or a liberal because that's what their parents are.” ThinkingChildrenValuesFatherParentNaturalWonderfulFineUniqueCatholicConservativeTendenciesLabelsSocialistCricketers Author:Richard Dawkins

“People - Catholics and non-Catholics - are amazingly open to begin again in their walk with Jesus and in the Church when they hear clarity and honesty. What they don't put up with, thank God, is dishonesty and cover-up. And so I speak as openly as I possibly can about the difficulties of the Church because we shouldn't be afraid to call out an abuse of the wonderful gift God gives to us of the Church. When we - its members and its leaders - are imperfect we need to change. We need to begin again.
