I write in comment to your article "The plight of pensioners." You need to take a poll of retired public officers with respect to the amount of their National Insurance Pension. It is a disgrace what they receive after contributing to National Insurance for more than thirty years. Some retired public officers receive just a little more than those who receive a non-contributors pension.

As usual , here is a case where the opinion of the Pope speaking to an issue of critical importance, in my view, has been taken out of its proper context. I understand the Pope to be saying that those who are in the gay lifestyle, like all of us, must seek salvation in fear and trembling. After all, God is the ultimate judge. The Pope appears to recognize that we are all God's children, and as such His love is sufficient for all of us. In that light, let us accept people where they are, and hopefully by our good example they ill have a change of heart. If we continue to judge, then we will never have a chance to be witnesses to the goodness and mercy of God. There are many issues in The Bahamas to which, I think, Dr. Myles Munroe could and should address his attention. Unfortunately, like many Bahamians, he has taken the path of least resistance....It costs him nothing, in The Bahamas, to criticize the statement f the Pope.
