A commission reporting to the French National Assembly (Parliament) has returned the most coherent and intellectually formidable negative response to the advocates of "gay marriage" - (in French): http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/12/dossiers/mission_famille_enfants.asp. This is frankly astonishing, in view of the French tendency to PC attitudes and Chirac's hostility to anything that reeks of Christianity, but it shows that unless you pack your commission with journalists, activists and politicians, certain problems arise by themselves.

In Toronto I attended a public lecture at the Oratory about the history of the Inquisition. It was an enlightenment for me, whose history lessons concentrated on the history of the UK (with an Anglican bias, at that) to hear a well-delivered, clearly well-researched delivery of this that neither put a glossy, rosy glaze on it nor painted the Church as the monster that popular opinion would have us believe.

Something needs to be done about history education where I came from.
