Archbishop's aide calls Britain a 'hedonistic wasteland' | World news | guardian.co.uk

The Roman Catholic archbishop of Westminster has distanced himself from an aide who said gay rights and the commercialisation of sex had turned Britain into a "selfish, hedonistic wasteland" and "the geopolitical epicentre of the culture of death".

The comments from Edmund Adamus, director of pastoral affairs at the diocese of Westminster and an adviser to the Most Rev Vincent Nichols, have angered gay rights and secularists groups and provoked embarrassment among the Catholic hierarchy weeks before the pope visits Britain.



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

No, of course not. That's just plain old Catholicism.

Either way, it's obvious that this guy has never been to Vegas.

He has a knack for turning a phrase though, doesn't he?
