I get so fed up of hypocrites like Derek Keating running bleating to the press like spoilt brats, because they thinks they are above the Church’s teachings and should be allowed to do what they want, even if it offends God. It also goes to show that he does not understand the basis under which lay people undertake a ministry. None of us has any ownership over the ministry we are called or asked to do.
Sadly, whilst other believers see his shallow foundations and lack of genuine belief, he will join the growing ranks of those blinded to everything but the worship of themselves and the delusion that they are martyrs.
Also typical is that the paper translates a polite request into an order.
