Dear marriage supporter,

The Government’s integration tsar, Dame Louise Casey, said last month that Roman Catholic schools must support same-sex marriage. Her comments caused deep alarm to many people.

The Department for Communities and Local Government has issued a letter to a C4M supporter, announcing that Dame Louise has backed down. It says:

“Dame Louise is a supporter of the right to gay marriage now enshrined in law, however she does respect and understand the Catholic Church’s long-held view that marriage is between a man and a woman, even if that is not her own view.”
