Been nice if the Catholic Church had fought as hard to stop the Iraq War as it did to stop women from receiving birth control.
A new store has opened up in Bushwick, Brooklyn that focuses exclusively on Pope John Paul II swag. I’m getting my mom a gift certificate.
My mom showed me this anti-gay marriage flyer over Skype that she received attending this morning’s mass. It’s from a group called Maryland Catholic Conference and it asks readers to call their local state senator, Jim Mathias in Ocean City, and ask him to support traditional marriage.
Near the end of mass, the priest invited the congregation to an upcoming rally to protect marriage. He made the invite right before the “go in peace to love and serve the Lord” part.
I’ve always felt bad for the gay kids, out or still in the closet, sitting with their parents and being forced to listen to such hurtful nonsense. I sort of remember being that kid.
The Pope who presided over the largest global child abuse ring in history, thinks that gay marriage is the real threat to humanity’s future.
On second thought, maybe the Pope doesn’t want us to get married because he wants us for the Priesthood.
