Ed Stourton: B16 challenges the status quo

Ed Stourton, a lifelong Catholic and the BBC broadcaster who will anchor much of the Corporation’s coverage of the visit, is quoted by Cristina Odone in the Telegraph as being unsurprised by the Theos findings that the Church's social teachings meet with the favour of the British public. Says Stourton:

"People are looking for an alternative to the moral relativism that has become the ideology of today. Benedict is one man who really challenges the status quo: the disillusioned can’t help but be drawn to his words.”
