CWN Editor's Note: Gavin Ashenden—once an Anglican priest and chaplain to Queen Elizabeth, now a Catholic convert—offers an explanation why the BBC will not allow Catholics to contribute to its “Thought for the Day” program. He argues that “Catholicism is dangerous to them, and they know it.”
Ashenden writes:
