The fun run took place a few years ago as part of the promotion for the show ‘Sister Act: The Musical”. It was not organised by Barnardo’s, but the organisers donated to us the money they raised on the day.<br />I hope this explains what the event was for, and my apologies again if it caused any offence. This was obviously not our intention."<br /><br /> <br /><br />Yours sincerely, Kate Mitchell<br /><br />Head of Events, Barnardo’s"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-32989177668157213912012-09-27T10:38:06.894+01:002012-09-27T10:38:06.894+01:00I seem to remember a long ago reluctance on the pa... I seem to remember a long ago reluctance on the part of Catholics to support Barnardo's. This was on the grounds that they were suspected, in the nineteenth<br /> century, of "collecting" Catholic orphans and converting them to Prodestantism.

It is at the forefront of the radical leftwing agenda to attack the natural rights and authority of the family, in Ireland, by means of, inter alia, an amendment to the provisions of the Constitution relating to the natural family.

Sadly, a...Thank you for drawing attention to this.<br /><br />Sadly, anti-Catholic bigotry is now so deeply embedded in this country that it's almost impossible for some people to imagine why this might be offensive. If they were demeaning the culture of Jews or black people then no one would give them the time of day, let alone their money, but Catholics are still seen as being a legitimate enemy.<br /><br />Obviously they shouldn't be including a "prophet" race either - not because Mahomet was a true prophet, but because in a tolerant, open-minded society this sort should be neither encouraged nor tolerated.Faith and Fatherlandhttp://faith-and-fatherland.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-28630247781705384572012-09-26T22:36:25.734+01:002012-09-26T22:36:25.734+01:00Thank you for drawing attention tothis matter.
