What is breathtaking is that no British news medium seems to have given this any attention.

No, you are dealing with a British attempt to force worldwide bodies to accept a British fad for British reasons. The notion that a Baptist or Hindu body, not to say a Catholic one, could imagine having one definition of marriage in most of the world and a quite different one in Britain is utter rubbish. Besides, there is an international dimension to this: the campaign to force the religions to change their definition of marriage would not stop in Britain.

On the one hand, Brits are such a tiny population that our views should not count; on the other hand, we will affect the entire world's opinion on marriage?

As you know perfectly well, the campaign for these things is international. It still represents a small and faddish percentage of the world's population, but it is also a rich part thereof. If you want to question the accuracy of this remark, I have nothing more to say. I will not accept to be asked to prove that the sky is blue.

Good. Quite regularly the sky is NOT blue.

A witticism proves nothing.

But a truth is true, whether or not someone accepts it.

Is the sky grey on occasion?

I suggest you make a serious study of the difference between opposition and contradiction.
