Catholic group warns TDs of ‘evil’ of civil partnership bill

A CONTROVERSIAL grassroots Catholic group has warned politicians the upcoming civil partnership bill is opposed to “natural moral law” and promotes the “evil” of same-sex couples adopting children.

In a scathing letter sent to all TDs and Senators yesterday, the newly-formed Catholic League urged politicians to vote down the legislation before it becomes “harmful to society”.

The bill – which grants equal rights to all couples in Ireland – is to be voted on in the Dáil in the coming months. It received all-party support during a three-day debate in December.
