It's true that here in Britain the policy makers and media generally ignore what the Christian / Catholic public might want.
Although, we have quite a lot of Political Correctness here so the media and government are very quick to defend the rights or feelings of minority religions (e.g. Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, etc.). Whereas Christianity has been somewhat exluded from this protection up til now. (Hope this doesn't sound like I'm bashing minorites cos that's not what I mean. And I'm not Christian myself)
We are however starting to get a mobilised, largely right-wing Christian 'fundamentalist' movement here (as I understand you have in the US?).
There was an instance about a year ago where a theatre play was forced to shut down after a large group of Sikhs angrily protested about it's content being offensive to their beliefs.
The Christian groups here were inspired by their success at forcing censorship and so when Jerry Springer - The Opera was screened on TV here they flooded the BBC with complaints and got an apology and now that show looks like it will struggle to find many theatres that will host the show in case Christian groups protest again...
Sorry for the long post but I'm against political correctness, using religion as a basis for law-making and most censorship, so this kinda pee'd me off!
Gee that's my first serious-minded post here I think! :crazy:
