I hate all this "lets tip-toe around people's crazy religious beliefs as we wouldn't want to offend anyone, oh no...." Groups like renew are a like some kind of dinosaur -clearly belonging to the past, yet still hanging around, desperately trying to fit everyone else in society into their rigid, (unhappy) Catholic way of life. And they have the cheek to impose this on the rest of us by influencing state policy? Please! Furthermore, given the events of the past year, why would anyone want to even contemplate returning to those bitter days of Church control over the state and society?!! Finally, a bit of political sense from Senator O’Donoghue!

All they have is a vague fear that they feel the need to spread to everyone else. It's like a toddler trying to make everyone else fear the monster under his bed. But... I love the otter in their logo. Like all fear-mongering “christians”, these people have no facts nor are their arguments convincing.
