The good wishes and the prayers of the Catholic community of England and Wales to the new British Prime Minister, David Cameron, and to all of his new government coalition. They have been expressed in a release, published today, by archbishop Peter Smith, Deputy President of the Bishops Conference of England and Wales.
“On behalf of the Catholic community of England and Wales – Mgr. Smith writes – I would like to ensure the Prime Minister and his new government coalition of our prayers at the beginning of their work at the service of the common good of our society.
“In expressing our best wishes to the new government – the archbishop goes on – it is good for all of us to recall that many of the deeply-rooted problems of our society may only be faced through a renewal of our shared values. A change for the better may not be left to politicians alone. It needs the contribution of all of us”.
