But Damian Thompson from the 'Daily Telegraph' Holy Smoke blog thinks Gordon Brown plan to amend anti-Catholic Act of Settlement issued in 1701 is a mere attmept to neuter Catholics. He writes: ..."Here are a few subjects that are of major concern to Catholics: compulsory sex education for five-year-olds, the creation of hybrid embryos, the placing of children with gay couples, the attack on the selection procedures of Catholic schools. These are areas in which Mr Brown wishes Catholics would just shut up."
