People are divided on the proclamation by Gozo Bishop Mario Grech, who hinted that Catholics promoting divorce legislation are “wolves in sheep’s clothing”.
Mgr Grech said those not in line with Church teachings should not expect to receive the Eucharist, a comment which some interpreted as a spiritual threat against those planning to vote yes in the referendum.
But while comments flooded in online to label him “intolerant”, “ridiculous” and “arrogant”, others defended his homily on Sunday as being in line with Church dogma. [Photo: Google images]
