Distasteful advertisement in Alive

The Irish Times has carried a number of letters concerning Alive newspaper.

In the April issue of Alive on the back page there is an advertisement asking people to support those who are opposed to the Lisbon Treaty.

One paragraph reads, "This treaty is simply a re-hash of the EU Constitution - which rejects God and the unborn child."

The next paragraph is even more outrageous.

There is the menacing sentence, "We'll fight this Treaty with everything we've got. But we need your help".

Elsewhere it tells its readers, "We'll have lost the power to decide."

The ad concludes with the salutation, "Please pray of the campaign. God Bless You. Fr John Brady.

It is a distasteful and worrying advertisement.
