Cardinal Dolan Blames Bad Marketing for Church Seeming Antigay

http://www.advocate.com/politics/religion/2013/11/30/cardinal-dolan-blames-bad-marketing-catholic-church-seeming-antigay

The Catholic Church merely has an image problem on LGBT equality, according to Cardinal Timothy Dolan.

"Well, I think maybe we've been outmarketed sometimes," he said on Meet the Press, according to a preview of the Sunday interview reported by the Associated Press. "We've been caricatured as being antigay."

we love the sinner but hate the sin....

All perverts are welcome in our church to give money so we can live lavishly and hide pedophile priests as long as they don't honor their humanity, i.e. they remain celibate and don't do any self stimulation. Only then will God be happy.

I use the term "perverts" because in his eyes any sex except for a man dominating a woman using the missionary position with no contraception (a practice often known to impoverish the family as they lack financial resources to support a large family) is unnatural. He exempts of course priests who have a spiritual need to molest young boys and girls. The molestation is for the eternal salvation of those young people don't you know or at worst it is just too much work to do what is right.

They stuck the old one in the garden apartment and brought in the PR Pope and people seem to be eating it up including The Advocate.
