Catholic Church Thanks Anti-Gay NY Senators For Their Bigotry

[Bluebear]

It's that time of year when you thank all the fellow bigots in your life, so New York's Catholic Church has sent Sen. Ruben Diaz and his fellow "No Homo Marriage" voters a note of appreciation for all of their hard work in keeping those dirty queers down.

"On behalf of the Bishops of New York State and millions of other New Yorkers, please know that we are proud of you for taking this stand. Please know that Catholic New Yorkers across the state are deeply appreciative of you for this vote of conscience. May God's blessings be bestowed upon you and your family in abundance this holiday season."

2. That idiotic church needs to let clergy have partners,

gay or straight. Until they show that they, the leadership can lead by example in how they do relationships and marriage, the asshats should shut their animal muzzles.

3. The Roman Catholic Church is what it is. That's why I walked away

about 40 years ago.

There are many more progressive churches for those who want them.

10. This is expected but an morality issue I cannot get my head around

Paragraph 2 of the original letter:

The Catholic Conference arrives at its positions by examining them through the lens of human dignity"...

Which is an joke at this point as the way the official church approaches this takes away an huge amount of dignity. Archbishop Dolan should know better.
