Mark Wiggin, Chief Executive of Catholic Care, said at the time of the original Court case: “In effect, we are being invited either to stop our adoption work or stop being a Catholic charity. Neither of these options is acceptable to our trustees, our beneficiaries or supporters.” For further details of the ruling including who to write to, please click here.
