Excerpt: "The nuns' silence on gay marriage must be particularly galling to their new inquisitor. Archbishop Sartain has thrown the full force of his office behind a proposed ballot initiative to overturn Washington state's new marriage equality law. His 2010 appointment to the Seattle archdiocese provoked protest from victims of pedophilia, because only a year earlier, Sartain had ordained a molester — later convicted of his crimes — despite warnings from other priests."

Editor's note: After being cited in Amnesty International's report of human rights violators, this move takes "you know what." They realize they are losing moral authority over the faithful and hope to force women's religious orders to further their agenda. And it's an agenda far removed from what I learned in religion class. It's a power play – pure and simple.
