That's it, the referendum vote on the divorce issue in Malta is over, and the Maltese people have definitely spoken. YES ... it has become clear from the results they do want the right to divorce and laws covering this matter. I am starting to believe it was God, that had spoken through the Maltese people. No doubt very soon, the House of Representatives will begin debating and surely enacting divorce legislation, so ... many lives and spirits can be restored. It is certainly not a time or a century to be silent and people all over the world have definitely become more active and vocal in calling for their rights.

The catholic Church in Malta will now have to focus on what it should have been teaching; that seperation between Church and state is healthy as the right of religious freedom - and freedom of conscience - must be acknowleged and always. The Church has to focus on realities that it is not seeing, as the right to divorce will not spell disaster for the Maltese people and those thinking on such terms are not being fair to themselves, and hence it is doubtful all can accomplish being fair and tolerant to others. The Church had no business to scare its members that voting yes, for divorce ... is a sin. The result shows that the Maltese people are civilized and the Church's influence on people was further weakened and, it surely pissed off too many people, and no doubt as you may have guessed including this writer.

In the fifites, the catholic Church in Malta also tried and succeeded ... to control many Maltese people when it declared that voting for a one particular political party was a sin, and such events did nothing less but enrage the countless members of the offended political party and the harm to the country is an evident reality to this very day.

The disasterous conduct of the Church, and I am filtering my language ... at that time cannot be ignored, and if I present all details of the madness, sadness and badness of that time ... it may very well be one can become sick to their stomach with disgust. No I will not inflict specific details as most likely one will surely realize that not every moment lived on this earth ... is a blessing.

Same as countless of Maltese and including those from the Church's own ranks, I am not also going to suggest that the Church stays silent for some time to come ... I suggest the Church moves its lips some more and also apologize to God. There is no debility in the Church as a stone and marble, but in principles and teaching, YES. This does not necessarily mean though, that believers in the Church of Christ in Malta, will end up being a minority ... I am confident that the Church and its bruised members will become whole again.
