As a fundamentalist Catholic Jacob will do the right thing and withdraw his money from the investment group. He probably din't realise. However, if he keeps his dosh in... He is obviously not a fundamentalist catholic. In his interviews he says he's a democrat and respects the positions other people take. It is important to treat people fairly. I note how easily it is for you to call Christians fundamentalists. Being against abortion is not fundamentalist. Being against abortion does not mean that you force others to be so too. Where has Mogg ever said this? I repeat, it's important to treat people fairly. Edited by Stirlingsays (02 Oct 2017 10.48am)

Edited by Stirlingsays (02 Oct 2017 10.48am) If you could explain what is democratic about his attitude and self-confessed way of doing things I would be grateful: "In an interview with Radio 4, Rees-Mogg said that he had made it quite clear to his constituents that in this sort of matter (equal marriage rights (and therefore abortion too)) he takes his whip from the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church rather than the Whip’s Office"

It's exactly democratic. It's a matter of personal conscience how he votes. If his constituents don't like it they can vote him out. Tell me what the problem is?

Because as a Member of Parliament in a secular democracy he is there not to represent his religion's prosaic views, which are not democratic, but that of his constituents, which are. He admits he chooses the former on issues where Catholic beliefs holds sway and not those of the people. Which makes him not fit for purpose. He is in the wrong job.

He admits he chooses the latter on issues where Catholic beliefs holds sway and not those of the people. Which makes him not fit for purpose. He is in the wrong job. I disagree. A member of parliament is definitely there to represent his constituents. However your suggestion that this means that every single politician should vote with the policy that their party tells them too.....That's wholly thinking. This makes politicians little more than pen pushers. Most sensible people recognise that there are certain issues for which politicans are allowed a vote of conscience. This area is one of them. If they disagree, they should vote against him. The fact that you don't recognise that some issues are matters of conscience and instead want to attack the man shows me that you aren't really interested in a fair analysis of the issue.. You called him a fundamentalist.....that was wholly unfair and inaccurate.

Fundamentalism indicates very strict personal attachment to a set of irreducible beliefs within a religious context. That's our Jacob and he is not pretending he is something he is not to give him his due respect. You are though with him.
