Portland Diocese: Starve Yourselves To Protect The Sanctity of Marriage!
Well, it's nice to know that Mikey Heath shared his Kool-Aid with the entire class before he transferred to Tanzania.

But get this: the fasting ends exactly on the same day as the "Harvest Ball"!

Below the fold, more confusion from the Diocese... and looking at the little clickables on their site, REMIND ME AGAIN HOW THEY ARE NOT A "PAC"?

Why aren't they helping the poor for 40 days?

1. They should make it a 140 day fast, that way, more could die.

2. And by "defense of marriage," they mean opposition to marriage. nt

3. The only reason the catholic church endorsed marriage at all is to make more
catholic kids....to them, it's ALL ABOUT more membership/power/wealth. I went to catholic schools K-12, not by my choice, and I understand the thinking.

The real catholic church is about property aquisition, administration of its wealth, and political power, period.

The rest is salesmanship.

4. Helping the poor? That brings in less money than gay marriage fights
Of course Maine is not going to force the church to marry gay couples, but that doesn't stop the crazies from acting like that's how it is.
