Rowan Williams’ got your back!The Archbishop of Canterbury spoke during his Easter sermon about the “strange mixture of contempt and fear” of Christians in British society, evidenced by the push for “euthanasia.” But I’d watch his motives if I were you: Williams and the Catholic Church are about to embark on a campaign for greater involvement in the upcoming elections and have a vested interest in controlling the renewed health care debate.
