Catholic HeraldSubhead: "Cheap and nasty mud-slinging"
Bishop of East Anglia wrote to Neil Kinnock complaining that he has abused Catholic beliefs in a speech at the Labour party's Red Rose rally in Birmingham.
Commenting that Kinnock has fallen into "the all-too easy trap of treating Christians as something rather quaint and amusing, the butt of cheap puns. And cheap is very much the tone of Mr Kinnock's attack."
The leader suggests the time is right for a reform of antiquated blasphemy laws - being unworkable. Perhaps Christians should turn the other cheek?
