Deborah Schembri’s on warpath and she’s got the bull by the horns. No matter what Raphael (Vassallo) might say the issue was clear from the start – the Church cannot have the cake and eat it when it comes to the choice of lawyer in annulment proceedings. Either the Church-State agreement is scratched (and annulments do not have any civil link) or the Church drops all conditions for lawyers appearing before its courts.

See? It’s not that J’accuse thinks that everyone else should have the same priorities as us. It’s all a matter of focus.

Simples.

P.S. The Malta Chronicle is back up and running for a 21 day open forum on divorce starting on the 7th May. Also look out for the Divorce Debate Network of Blogs – linking blogs on the Maltese Blogosphere that have opened their pages to the debate in the run up to the referendum – the blogroll is also available on The Malta Chronicle.

P.P.S. – Just seen this on the Times’ Quote of the Week:

“The Church has pinched where it hurts.”

Pro-divorce campaigner Deborah Schembriwho is without a salary after the Ecclesiastical Tribunal stopped her from practising in the Church’s tribunals

Really? Are there really lawyers who ONLY practice in the Ecclesiastical Tribunal? Drama queens and drama spins.
