The Catholic Church is irresponsible
The weekly Le Jeudi criticises the stance of the Catholic Church in Luxembourg, which rejects same-sex marriage: "The grand-ducal Catholic Church sees the marriage of homosexual pairs as a threat to 'the survival of society' because it 'calls into question the uniqueness of marriage between man and woman'. Nonetheless - and we would do well to remember this - every second [marriage] with or without God's blessing ends in divorce. Whether the Pope likes it or not: the marriage of homosexuals damages society as little as condoms make Aids worse. … If the Church opposes carnal desire and preaches fidelity in order to sell eternity better, then that's it problem. But helping the spread of Aids or condemning a section of society is irresponsible. … For if tolerance and division are the basis of Catholic religion, power is the only raison d'être for its church. And to 'divide and rule' is its golden rule."

Well-meant denunciation
Jérôme Quiqueret describes the work of the French Mutual Aid Society in fighting poverty in Luxembourg: "The society can rely on the generosity of its members, the French state and French companies located in Luxembourg. ... Nevertheless, not everyone can be helped. ... The reasons for poverty vary: they can be social, economic or psychological. ... The aid society can help people return to France. And it offers the poor clothing to fend off critical looks, as well as games at Christmas. The French Mutual Aid Society society also has its hands full with the current housing crisis and the low welfare aid. ... It still relies on the cooperation of the neighbours of people in need ... but if that is denunciation, at least it is well meant."
