The Head of the Roman Catholic Church in England, the Most Rev Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster has condemned the coalition Government cuts in welfare benefit, particularly housing benefit. He is concerned that thousands of poor families may be forced out of their homes.
His letter to Ian Duncan Smith MP, reported in the Times, follows similar concerns raised by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams who recently wrote a quest editorial in the New Statesman. The Churches are particularly anxious about the cuts as they help the worst affected.
Sadly I don’t think anyone in Government is listening
