Changing Malta and Boycott Willow Tree

Speaking with a friend from Malta on the phone, I learned that ssm legislation would be passed by December this year. The push by the lgtb groups for the acceptance of such has created a tension in the country.  The problem is a huge generation gap of voters. Most of the older, Catholic Maltese people are against ssm and abortion, the next fight.

The huge influx of 30-somethings from other EU nations, and the changing views of  the "nones" of the Gen-Xers and Millenials create a wedge in the culture. However, the younger, less religious Maltese will get their way on this vote.

Catholics should be concerned about the hate crime legislation which is being put forward as well. Will the country be like Canada, where it is illegal for ministers and priests to use the word "sodomy"? Poor, poor Malta. But, this anti-Catholic agenda is one being pushed throughout the EU. Will their be any safe-havens?
