In a bulletin insert delivered to parishioners around the nation, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops warned that the Supreme Court could be preparing to affirm marriage equality, and urged an outpouring of anti-LGBT sentiment and sermons to push back against the potential change.

“A broad negative ruling could redefine marriage in the law throughout the entire country, becoming the ‘Roe v. Wade’ of marriage,” the bulletin reads. “The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has joined with many other organizations in urging the Supreme Court to uphold both DOMA and Proposition 8 and thereby to recognize the essential, irreplaceable contribution that husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, make to society, and especially to children.”

2. Don't you love when the closeted tell those who are honest what to do.

I am not saying Dolan is closeted but the whole structure of the RCC.

3. Historically, hate is what the Vatican does best - look at the Jews

and how they spearheaded pogroms against Jewish people, over the centuries. Almost always, it was a means to gain power or money, and it worked.

Today, they are doing this to gay people. I mean, they always HAVE hated gay people, but they are simply re-energizing old tactics of scapegoating the minority.

Don't forget, the Vatican traditionally supports the status quo in many ways, some sneaky. Why many Spanish liberals hated the Catholic church, and still do, due to Vatican support for the military in their Civil War.

5. Who will be... "America's Next Top Catholic?"

Audience cheering, camera zooming to the judges and the show host - Bill Donohue - as a rock version of Ave Maria plays.

I could see it being a TV show.

6. Individuals like this are the personification of evilness and

hatred, the enforcers of what is wrong with the world. Godless individuals professing to be messengers of holiness. What a crock!

9. Quoted from a commenter in that story:

"Why would anyone get their spiritual advice from a bunch of child molesters who harbor and hide the pervert priests? WHY would ANYONE be that stupid? Seriously, the pervert priests who prey on CHILDREN don't like equal marriage rights for LGBT people? Tough you-know-whatty!

Time for them to either shut the hell up or start paying full taxes.
