Catholic bishops to flock: Fight same-sex marriage

Politics • January 2012 • Views: 1,736

Washington’s four Roman Catholic bishops have taken a foursquare stand against legalization of same-sex marriage, a cause rapidly gaining momentum in the State Legislature.
Catholics should contact their legislators and tell them to “defend the current definition of marriage” against legislation to legalize marriage between same-sex couples, the bishops declared in a strongly worded pastoral letter posted late Friday.
Society’s recognition of marriage is “related to bringing children into the world and the continuation of the human race,” argue the bishops, and any change of definition would add “to the forces already undermining family life today.”

After that, good luck.

“pay no attention to the fact that we are full of pedos and cover up for them. pay attention to the evil gay menace instead.”

Ah geez.

Catholics on a whole are actually better-than-average on gay rights. Remember the church hierarchy is a lot more conservative politically than the membership.

Interesting. I thought that for centuries, society’s recognition of marriage was related to political alliances between tribes, kingdoms, states, and merchant groups, for the continuation and consolidation of power, and sometimes for the prevention of war/creation of peace.

I guess that’s what I get for attending commie infiltrated public schools.

The Catholic Church hiearchy: another flailing old guard trying desperately to keep power. With each passing day they look more and more like something from a totally different, bygone era.

No women in positions of power, few concessions to the modern world, leadership shrouded in secrecy, scandals all over, old celibate men making all the decisions. Not a recipe for continued dominance…at least not in Europe or the US.

The thing is, I would have much more respect for “The Church” if they were at least half as diligent and vociferous about the pedophilia pandemic within their ranks as they are about the issue of gay marriage.
