Sony grovels over Manchester Cathedral video game

This is a late comment, but Ecclesiastical Law provides for the following...

Once consecrated by the bishop (usually by a special consecration service), a building may not be used in a manner that does not respect its sanctity. A statutory duty is placed on any person or body undertaking the care and conservation of a church building in that they must have ‘due regard to the role of the church as a local centre of worship and mission’ (although this duty does not apply to a chancellor of the diocese when adjudicating a faculty petition), and all liturgical matters should be classed as a material consideration.

I don't think a game such as this can be remotely classed as "respecting its sanctity".

Let's hope Sony and other game makers respect this from now on.
