This week Bishop Philip Egan of Portsmouth said that British society was being threatened by a "strangling counter-culture of death". In a powerful address after he was consecrated as Bishop of Portsmouth he said:
We must offer this salvific message to a people sorely in need of new hope and direction, disenfranchised by the desert of modern British politics, wearied by the cycle of work, shopping, entertainment, and betrayed by educational, legal, medical and social policy makers who, in the relativistic world they’re creating, however well-intentioned, are sowing the seeds of a strangling counter-culture of death.
