It was Lord David Alton, a committed Catholic Peer and pro-life legend, who described what he called a "mutant liberalism" as a massive problem in politics today.

It is a creed and ideology that, on the one hand, professes to believe in freedom of thought and action. But in reality, it all too quickly cancels you if you dare stray from its approved beliefs.

This is especially challenging for those of us who believe in the sanctity of life from conception to life’s natural end and who uphold God’s good design for sex and marriage.
