It is good to know that the Bishops of England and Wales are to distribute a letter to all parishes this weekend about the forthcoming election, and that this document gives a list of suggested questions that we, the voting public, should put to our candidates.
Bishop Egan of Portsmouth has already sent out a pastoral letter on the election, again with questions that Catholics should put to the candidates. The Anglican Bishops sent out their pre-election pastoral last week. The National Secular Society has taken note of this, with a predictable reaction.
