Marriage Campaign—The Scottish Government has indicated its intention of putting forward a Bill to change the definition of marriage.  One of the many undesirable consequences which could ensue if this Bill is passed into law is that it would no longer be possible for Catholic schools to teach that marriage is the union of one man and one woman.  Another is that people might be refused the chance to be foster parents if they support the traditional definition of marriage.  S.P.U.C. are encouraging people to lobby their MSPs so that they will vote against the Bill.  If you are interest in lobbying your MSP or wish to know more about how to lobby your MSP, please contact Mike Ryan on 942 1481.
