Volunteers at Catholic churches will collect donations to oppose Washington's gay marriage law
Preserve Marriage Washington donation envelope
Posted: 6:14 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 29, 2012
Barbara Guzzo is a lifelong Catholic and says she’s appalled that fundraising against Washington’s same-sex marriage law will be allowed in Catholic churches.
“I have been Catholic since birth, and I love my church and I love what it stands for, and what’s hard for me about this is I think it’s not what our gospel teaches,” she says.
Envelopes will be distributed in Catholic parishes in Eastern Washington next month in an effort to collect donations for Preserve Marriage Washington, a group that opposes the law.
“The parishes that participate in Yakima and Spokane will designate a Sunday…and then we will have a volunteer on the ground there at each parish to collect those at the end of the services,” said Chris Plante with Preserve Marriage.

This is way out of line. The envelopes should be ripped up and dropped in the basket.
