As the comedian didn't say to the Imam What a Catholic Archbishop said last night on the ABC's Q&A about homosexuality: MARK COLERIDGE: But what the church has to do is to remain faithful to our understanding of homosexuality and yet, at the same time, to work in every way we can to ensure justice for homosexual people. Now, clearly this doesn't mean to say, for instance, that we support gay marriage... But in every other way, to work to defend the dignity of homosexual people, just as we work to defend the dignity of other people.
