NY Archbishop says same-sex marriage has opened the door to polygamy in the Empire State

from HuffPost:



NEW YORK — New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan says he's worried that the next step in the marriage debate will be another redefinition to allow polygamy and infidelity.

Dolan wrote on his blog Thursday, “Recall how the Church resisted the ‘contraceptive mentality,’ fearing it would rupture the sacred bond between love and the procreation of children. Then, remember how the Church sounded the alarm over rising rates of promiscuity, adultery, pre-marital sex, and cohabitation prior to or instead of marriage. And now we ring the steeple bell again at this latest dilution of the authentic understanding of marriage, worried that the next step will be another redefinition to justify multiple partners and infidelity.”

He thanked the "courageous millions who valiantly fought this unfortunate project of social engineering," telling his followers, "Sanely, civilly, thoughtfully, vigorously . . . you did not cave-in. The forces on the other side were a Goliath indeed — with tons of money, “glitterati” from entertainment circles, political powerbrokers, and the media — but you proved a worthy David." ..............(more)

3. Polygamy? I know what would happen if I had 40 wives...

They would ALL be mad at me at the same time.

That's 40 dozen roses.
40 boxes of chocolates.
40 massive gift cards.

Sorry. I cannot afford polygamy.

10. Shit, it's so true.

That church has about as much credibility on anything that jack the ripper does. Fuck, even murderers look down on pedos.

11. Quite truthfully, I see no reason for polygamy to be illegal anyway. But his logic is still shitty.

Gay marriage != polygamy, any more than it equals live TV shows of men fucking box turtles.

13. Yeah, when 24/1 is equal to 24/2 or more...

that'll change.

15. Since when does a leader of a pedophile nest...

...get to have an opinion on ANYTHING?

These people have a lot of nerve commenting on any social issue, after
what they've done to children--and what they continue to do, by covering
it up and minimizing it.

16. Polygamy? Read your Old Testament Timmy.

Biblical marriage = polygamy!

17. These guys should really just shut up about sex.
