Catholic bishop whines marriage equality is selfish and won’t someone please think of the children?
Kaili Joy Gray
If there’s one thing Catholic bishops should probably not talk about, it’s what is and isn’t good for children. You know, considering how the Catholic Church is crawling with pedophiles who raped and abused children over many decades and yet were protected by the Church leadership. But never mind all that.
Since the Catholic Church is not known for learning its lessons quickly—didn’t they just get around to forgiving Galileo?—here’s Bishop Francis Malooly of Wilmington, Delaware to explain why children are precious and therefore gay marriage is bad. The letter is “a teaching document intended to reiterate the Church’s teaching on marriage and is part of the U.S. Bishops’ pastoral strategy to advance a movement for life, marriage and religious liberty.” In other words, this is part of the Church leadership’s coordinated strategy to hate gay people—for freedom:
From the beginning of the Bible the Church learns the meaning of marriage and human sexuality. God created both.
Well, let’s just stop right there, shall we? God created marriage and human sexuality—but somehow the gays just snuck through into existence on their own, did they? Good lord, these arguments are so tedious. Let’s go below the fold for more, shall we? .
At the very least every human culture recognizes that the sexual instincts and sexual appetites of human beings need to be channeled and that children who result from sexual relationships between men and women need to be cared for and nurtured.
You know a terrific way to care for and nurture children? Not raping them. But again, I digress.
