Scotland’s Catholic bishops have objected to a proposed ban on so-called “conversion therapy” because they say it would effectively open the way for a persecution of the Church.
They claim that it would prevent the Catholic Church from preaching the Gospel and transmitting the faith in parishes, schools and private homes.
Priests will be banned from working in Scotland, the Catholic Church could lose its charitable status, and classroom and pastoral support teachers could also lose their jobs if the plans are accepted by the Scottish Government, the bishops say.
